EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1930s, showcases a vibrant and bustling scene on Eamont Street in London, specifically at the intersection of NW7 8DG. The image is dominated by the newly constructed blocks of flats, their clean lines and uniformity a stark contrast to the surrounding Victorian and Edwardian architecture. The flats, named Eamont Court, were a symbol of modern living, offering affordable housing to the growing urban population. Nestled amongst the buildings is an off-licence and a pub, both of which were likely popular gathering places for the residents. The off-licence would have sold alcohol for consumption off the premises, providing a convenient stop for those returning home after a long day's work. The pub, with its inviting sign and lively crowd, would have been a social hub, offering a place for neighbours to connect and build community. The 1930s were a time of significant change in London, with the city undergoing rapid modernization. This photograph captures the essence of that era, with its blend of old and new, and the sense of community that persisted despite the urbanization. The image is a testament to the rich history of the area, and a reminder of the vibrant and diverse social fabric of London in the thirties.
