EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Bernard Alfieri, we are transported back to January 1939 in Kingston Upon Thames, England. The image captures a dedicated council worker diligently cleansing the gullies and sewers of the town. Amidst a bustling street scene, the workman can be seen standing beside his lorry, which is equipped with a large tanker used for transporting refuse and sewage. His presence signifies the importance placed on maintaining a clean environment for the local community. The photograph showcases not only the hard work undertaken by these unsung heroes but also provides insight into the housing and infrastructure of that era. Rows of traditional houses line both sides of the road, painting a picture of life in 1930s Surrey. Alfieri's composition beautifully captures both movement and stillness - while pedestrians continue their daily routines in blurred motion, our focus remains fixed on this diligent worker repairing and improving vital drainage systems. This image serves as an important reminder of how essential public services like waste management have always been to our communities. It offers us an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come since then while acknowledging those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure our surroundings remained clean and habitable.
