EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1930s, a waste paper collection vehicle goes up in flames in the bustling streets of East Ham, London. The scene is filled with a palpable sense of excitement and curiosity as onlookers gather to watch the unfolding events. The collection vehicle, adorned with signs promoting the recycling of waste paper, stands proudly in the foreground, its once pristine exterior now engulfed in thick, black smoke. The fire brigade, swiftly responding to the emergency, can be seen in the background, their hoses at the ready as they work to extinguish the blaze. The firemen, dressed in their iconic uniforms, are focused and determined, their faces etched with the seriousness of the situation. Despite the apparent danger, the crowds that have gathered around the scene seem more intrigued than frightened. Children, dressed in their Sunday best, stand on the edges of the crowd, their wide eyes fixed on the spectacle before them. Adults, some with concerned expressions, others with looks of amusement, chat amongst themselves, speculating on the cause of the fire. The photograph captures the spirit of community that once thrived in East Ham, where even the most mundane events could become a source of fascination and entertainment. The image also serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of recycling, even in an era before it became a mainstream practice. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the everyday life of London in the 1930s.
