EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily routine of refuse collectors at work on a bustling Balham street in South West London during the 1960s. The scene is set with a row of dustbins lined up along the pavement, their metal bodies reflecting the grime and dirt of the urban environment. Two men in scruffy clothes and flat caps are shown in the foreground, their faces expressing a sense of determination and pride as they load the contents of the bins onto the back of their open-topped refuse collection vehicle. The van, adorned with the distinctive "Refuse" sign, is a testament to the era's transport technology, while the shops and houses in the background add to the sense of community and history. The collectors, with their broad grins and jovial demeanor, seem to be enjoying their work, despite the often dirty and physically demanding nature of the job. This image provides a unique glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Londoners during the 1960s and the essential role of refuse collectors in maintaining the cleanliness and order of the city.
