EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in September 1943, we catch a glimpse of the bustling World War Two Home Front. A determined woman is seen delivering boxes full of fish to traders at Billingsgate market in London. The image captures the resilience and hard work displayed by Londoners during this challenging period. The woman stands amidst a sea of wooden boxes piled high, showcasing the abundance of fresh produce available despite wartime constraints. Her presence symbolizes the crucial role women played on the home front, stepping up to fill traditionally male-dominated jobs as men were called away for military service. Located in the heart of East End, Billingsgate market was not only a hub for trade but also an essential source of sustenance for inner boroughs and beyond. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the daily life and industry that thrived within these markets during World War Two. Geo Davidson's skilled photography transports us back to a time when every task carried immense significance. It serves as a poignant reminder of how ordinary individuals contributed their efforts towards supporting their community and country during one of history's darkest chapters. Tovey's print from Memory Lane Prints encapsulates both the spirit and struggles faced by those living through World War Two while honoring their unwavering determination to keep going against all odds.
