EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of doorstep gossip in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, in 1987. The scene unfolds on a typical terraced street in the Potteries, with the familiar red brick houses and cobblestones underfoot. Two old women, dressed in warm coats and hats, are deeply engrossed in conversation on the doorstep of one of the houses. Their faces are animated, expressing the excitement and intrigue of the words being exchanged. The woman on the doorstep leans forward, her body language suggesting that she is sharing a juicy secret. Her companion, standing slightly behind, listens intently, her eyes wide with interest. The women's heads are close together, their bodies turned towards each other, creating a sense of intimacy and connection. The title "gossip" is apt, as the women's conversation no doubt revolves around the latest news and rumors in their community. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the spirit of community and connection that is so often found in the streets of Stoke-on-Trent. The women's chat may seem trivial to some, but it is an important part of the fabric of this close-knit community, where people look out for each other and take the time to connect with their neighbors. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when life moved at a slower pace and people took the time to truly engage with each other on their doorsteps.
