EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of old housing in Woolwich, London on the 17th of October, 1951. The image, taken by John Topham and preserved by TopFoto, transports us back to a different era. Rows of terraced houses line the street, revealing the living conditions and accommodation of that time. The dilapidated state of some buildings hints at the challenges faced post-war, with structural damage evident throughout. A lone child stands on the kerbside, providing a poignant perspective on this street scene frozen in time. The desolate atmosphere is further emphasized by an empty rubbish bin sitting on the pavement. As we delve into this memory lane exhibition from the twentieth century's mid-century point - specifically the nineteen fifties - we are reminded of how far society has progressed since then. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of architectural styles and exterior designs prevalent during that period but also sheds light on social aspects such as living conditions and urban decay. Through this snapshot captured over half a century ago, we gain insight into history while appreciating our present circumstances even more profoundly. It is photographs like these that allow us to reflect upon our past and appreciate how much progress has been made since those challenging times in Woolwich, London.
