EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from The Northcliffe Collection takes us back to the vibrant streets of London in the swinging sixties. It captures a poignant moment in time, "The last day of Seaton Market 1966" as we witness the end of an era. Located near Euston on Hampstead Road, this bustling market had been a cornerstone of the community for over half a century. At its heart stands Harry Gibber, an elderly gentleman who dedicated his life to trading at Seaton Market. Aged 80 years old, he proudly showcases his wares one final time after an impressive 52-year tenure. His weathered face tells stories of countless interactions with customers and fellow traders alike. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia and historic charm that transports us back to a bygone era. The surrounding buildings and architecture provide glimpses into the past, reminding us how cities like London have evolved over time. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in history, it prompts reflection on the significance of markets as cultural hubs within communities. They were places where people gathered not only to buy goods but also to connect with their neighbors and share stories. Jimmy James' masterful composition allows us to step into this scene from another time and immerse ourselves in its atmosphere. This print is truly a testament to preserving our collective memories and cherishing the rich tapestry of urban life throughout different eras.
