"The first time I encountered homity pie was in a disused train carriage. It was Deptford market in the late 2000s: a reliably chaotic, noisy morass of jostling bodies, the wafted smell of sweating burger onions and a vast section where the stalls generally comprised gatherings of orphaned trainers, boxy VHS players and other random house-clearance items dumped on to lengths of tarpaulin."
"It was this atmosphere of cultural nascence into which the Deptford Project trundled. Predominantly housed on a former railway yard in the midst of redevelopment, this cafe, cultural hub and outdoor cinema was located around a decommissioned 1960s commuter train, boldly redecorated and reimagined by designer Morag Myerscough: a becalmed, brightly daubed piece of rolling stock that, between 2008 and 2014, jutted out into the high street like a glitch in the urban matrix."
The first encounter with homity pie occurred in a disused 1960s train carriage at Deptford market in the late 2000s. Deptford market combined chaotic crowds, pungent food smells and stalls selling secondhand goods. The Deptford Project occupied a former railway yard during redevelopment, operating as a cafe, cultural hub and outdoor cinema centered on a brightly redecorated commuter train by Morag Myerscough. The Project offered affordable, eccentric community-focused amenities, including homemade food, free-range eggs and a famously quirky toilet. Homity pie received an umami boost from Marmite and served as a seasonal vessel for new leeks in early winter.
