EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Derek Berwin on the 5th of October, 1954, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event in London's history. As a bus strike grips the city, thousands of determined city workers can be seen crossing London Bridge on foot, making their way to work amidst the chaos. The landscape backdrop showcases the iconic lampposts and towering cranes that symbolize England's industrial prowess during that era. The image perfectly encapsulates the hustle and bustle of city life as commuters navigate through the crowded streets with an air of resilience. Amidst this scene of conformity and crisis, one cannot help but notice how everyone is dressed impeccably in their finest attire. Men donning bowler hats add a touch of sophistication to this otherwise chaotic setting. Each individual plays their part in keeping London functioning despite the transportation setback caused by the ongoing strike. This historic photograph serves as a reminder not only of our reliance on transport infrastructure but also highlights human adaptability and determination even during times of adversity. It captures a pivotal moment in British history when ordinary citizens came together to overcome challenges for the greater good. Derek Berwin's skillful composition transports us back to an era long gone while reminding us that some things remain constant – like our need for reliable transportation and our ability to persevere even when faced with obstacles along our daily commute.
