EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exterior of Derby House, located in the China Walk Estate on Walnut Tree Walk in Lambeth, London. Taken by an English photographer in 1929, this image showcases a piece of history from the early 20th century. Derby House stands tall amidst a sea of other houses and tenements within this council estate. Its facade exudes a sense of grandeur and elegance, reflecting the architectural style prevalent during that era. The balconies add a touch of charm to the building's exterior, while also providing residents with private outdoor spaces. As part of social housing initiatives in England, this estate played a vital role in providing affordable accommodation for working-class families. It symbolizes an important chapter in British society's efforts to address housing needs and improve living conditions for its citizens. The photo not only documents the physical structure but also offers glimpses into daily life during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how urban landscapes have evolved over decades while highlighting the significance of public services like council housing. Preserved by Bridgeman Images and now out of copyright, this print allows us to appreciate both the artistic value and historical relevance captured by an anonymous English photographer almost a century ago.
