EDITORS COMMENTS
Finchley Open air swimming pool, a snapshot of leisurely summer days in Barnet, London. The year is 1960 and Graham Williams, a young man of 22, seeks respite from the sun under a makeshift hat crafted from yesterday's news. With his deckchair positioned just right, he indulges in the simple pleasure of reading while enjoying the cool waters nearby. Surrounded by families and children frolicking in the pool, this image captures an era when open-air activities were cherished amidst bustling city life. The vibrant scene showcases people relishing outdoor leisure activities with enthusiasm and zest. In this nostalgic moment frozen in time, we witness men and women basking in the warm rays of sunshine as they soak up their well-deserved break from daily routines. A cigarette dangles casually between one man's fingers as he savors every drag amidst laughter-filled conversations. The photo encapsulates not only the spirit of relaxation but also highlights how newspapers served multiple purposes beyond delivering news - here it becomes both protection against sunburn and a fashion statement. As we gaze upon this print from Mirrorpix's Memory Lane collection, let us be transported back to an era where swimwear was modest yet stylish; where people found solace outdoors; where youth reveled in carefree moments that would forever remain etched within their memories.
