Paul Trevor is a British photographer who is renowned for documenting life in the East End of London between the 1970s and 1990s, which can be found in his book In Your Face.Five of artist Abraham O's close-up portraits are based on these images taken in the City and Brick Lane.

Jasmine Fisher, creative director of this project, emailed Trevor, who then selected these portraits, having looked at some of Abraham's work.Trevor believes the young girl in the fourth mural - based on a 1982 photograph - could still be alive and is asking anyone who may know her to come forward.Abraham O said the reason he became a street artist is because the art form is "accessible for everybody, for rich [people and] for poor [people]".

The research suggests passengers spend a minimum of £100 per visit, meaning potentially millions of pounds could be lost to the Highland economy, the port argues.Joanne Allday, the port's head of strategy and business, says she is worried the effect of the extra costs would filter down through the local economy.
