EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene on the pavement outside H Brahame shoe repairs at 25 Peter Street, W1, in the heart of Soho, London, during the 1970s. The year was 1973, and the area was teeming with life, as men in various stages of dress and occupation went about their daily business. In the foreground, a man in a suit and hat stands on the pavement, deep in conversation with another man, their heads close together as they engage in animated discussion. A car with a missing hubcap rolls slowly past, its driver seemingly unfazed by the hustle and bustle of the street. Behind the pair, the window of H Brahame shoe repairs is filled with an array of shoes and footwear, waiting to be repaired by the skilled cobblers within. The shop's sign, with its bold red and white lettering, is a beacon of tradition and craftsmanship in an ever-changing city. The scene is a snapshot of a bygone era, when Soho was known for its vibrant street life and eclectic mix of trades and businesses. The photograph, taken by Robert Stallard, is a testament to the rich history of the area and the people who made it their home and workplace. Today, the building that once housed H Brahame shoe repairs has been demolished, but the memories and stories it holds continue to live on through images like this one.
