EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the aftermath of a dustmen's strike in London on 8th February 1979. Piles of rubbish are stacked high near Charing Cross Hospital in Hammersmith, creating a stark visual representation of the crisis at hand. The refuse collection has come to a standstill, leaving the streets littered with garbage and debris.
The absence of people in the image highlights the impact that labor strikes can have on communities, as essential services like sanitation are disrupted. The built structure of Charing Cross Hospital looms in the background, serving as a reminder of how environmental issues can affect public health.
The vertical composition of the photograph emphasizes the scale of the problem, with large groups of objects forming chaotic patterns against the backdrop of urban life. This archival snapshot from 1979 serves as a historical document, capturing a moment when industrial action brought recruitment and sanitation workers to their breaking point.
As we reflect on this image today, it reminds us of the importance of sustainable waste management practices and fair labor conditions for those who work tirelessly to keep our cities clean.
