EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the summer of 1953, this print showcases the vibrant energy and community spirit that thrived within the housing estates of Queen Marys Buildings on Stillington Street, London. As if transformed into a natural theatre, the balconies of these tenements provided an excellent vantage point for over 1,000 excited kiddies to witness a spectacular Holidays at Home show organized by Westminster City Council. The image transports us back to a simpler time when childhood was filled with wonder and imagination. The young boys and girls are adorned in colorful costumes, their eyes gleaming with anticipation as they gather on each balcony. From princesses to pirates, fairies to superheroes - every character imaginable is represented among this enthusiastic crowd. On stage below, a talented singer takes center stage under the warm summer sun. With microphone in hand and surrounded by an adoring audience, her melodious voice fills the air as she entertains both young and old alike. The joyous atmosphere is palpable; laughter echoes through the flats as families come together to celebrate their holidays right at home. This snapshot not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of how communities can create their own entertainment amidst humble surroundings. It symbolizes unity and resilience within inner boroughs like Queen Marys Buildings where neighbors become friends and shared experiences forge lifelong memories.
