This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the bustling streets of London in the 1940s. In the center of the frame stands Bela Zola, a talented Daily Mirror photographer, surrounded by a group of hardworking London sewer men. The image captures an extraordinary moment as Zola immerses himself in their world, spending a day documenting their tireless efforts underground. The camaraderie between Zola and these unsung heroes is palpable, showcasing his ability to connect with people from all walks of life.
