EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Brixton Hill, Lambeth in London during the year 1937. Standing proudly on this cobbled avenue is A&A Motor Spares, a renowned car repair firm that was an integral part of the local community. The large house with cars parked in its front garden serves as a testament to their expertise and dedication. The image showcases a snapshot of early 20th-century industry, where automobiles were still relatively new but rapidly gaining popularity. This scene captures the essence of an era when motor cars were becoming more accessible to the public, creating a demand for reliable repair services like those provided by A&A Motor Spares. The location exudes history and charm, with tramlines running alongside the road as a reminder of past transportation methods. The gate pier and entrance reflect architectural styles prevalent during that time period. Although little is known about the individuals captured within this photograph or their specific occupation at A&A Motor Spares, it's evident that they played an essential role in keeping vehicles on London's roads running smoothly. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this image offers us a glimpse into both Lambeth's rich automotive heritage and the vibrant street life of 1930s London.
