EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the construction of Peterhead House, located in East Hill Estate, London, in 1936. The image showcases a group of dedicated workmen diligently laying bricks to create this impressive structure. Wandsworth, within the London Borough, serves as the backdrop for their laborious efforts. The scene exudes an aura of urban progress and development as these builders contribute to shaping the city's landscape. The council estate project is evident from the tenements visible in the background, emphasizing its significance as social housing during that era. The facade of Peterhead House takes center stage in this photograph, showcasing its architectural beauty even during its construction phase. This residential building stands tall amidst a bustling construction site filled with activity and determination. With England society undergoing changes at that time, this image represents not only physical growth but also symbolizes hope for improved public services and living conditions through council housing initiatives. Photographed by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown but whose work has entered into public domain due to copyright expiration; this snapshot provides us with a glimpse into 1930s Britain - a period marked by resilience and progress despite economic challenges. Bridgeman Images presents this historical piece from their collection on Fine Art Finder without commercial intentions or usage implications mentioned.
