Balham Caps Colours Laughing Medal Medals Peaked Scruffy Stubble Tramp Tramps Unshaven Vagrant Vagrants 1895


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of an old man, estimated to be in his seventies, sitting on the pavement in Balham, South West London during the 1960s. The man, dressed in scruffy military colors and wearing a peaked cap adorned with a medal dated 1895, exudes an air of nostalgia and intrigue. His unshaven face, creased with the lines of time, is etched with the traces of a smile or perhaps a laugh, adding a touch of humanity and warmth to the scene. The man's attire, reminiscent of the Victorian era, stands in stark contrast to the modern surroundings, transporting us back in time. The image invites us to ponder the man's story, his past, and the circumstances that led him to sit on this particular street corner in Balham, surrounded by the bustling life of the 1960s. The photograph, from The Paul Kaye Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a poignant reminder of the rich tapestry of history that lies hidden in plain sight on the streets of our cities.
