Description
Nigel Henderson's Streets: Photographs of London's East End 1949-53 by Andrew Wilson is a unique collection of photographs that capture the essence of working-class London life in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Between 1949 and 1953, Nigel Henderson documented the streets of Bethnal Green, creating an extraordinary archive of images that showcase the daily lives of the local people. The book features 150 newly digitized photographs, including scenes of children playing, funeral cortèges, and street parties celebrating a major event. These photographs offer a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, revealing the wit, resilience, and character of the people who lived in this rapidly changing part of London.
