EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Squatters: The kitchen sink as well" we are transported back to the bustling streets of London in January 1975. The image captures a momentous event taking place at Cornwall Terrace, overlooking the picturesque Regents Park. Squatters have taken over nearly all of the 300 rooms in this grand building, and their audacity knows no bounds. As we delve deeper into the scene, our eyes are drawn to an unexpected sight - a fully functioning kitchen sink and its plumbing being moved into one of the occupied rooms. This symbolic act not only showcases the resourcefulness and resilience of these squatters but also highlights their determination to create a semblance of home within these walls. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as more squatters arrive throughout the afternoon, accompanied by a van laden with household items such as a washing machine, gas stove, and carpets. These humble possessions represent more than just material goods; they signify hope for stability amidst uncertain circumstances. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of an era marked by housing struggles and social unrest. It encapsulates both the challenges faced by those seeking affordable accommodation and their unwavering spirit in reclaiming spaces that were once out of reach. Through this lens from Memory Lane Prints, we gain insight into an important chapter in London's history while recognizing that even amidst adversity, individuals find ways to make themselves heard and create homes where none existed before.
