EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1930s, a time between the wars when an old mill in Plumstead Common found new purpose as an Inn. The image captures Mr T Fossam and Mr Copelin engaged in a friendly game of billiards, surrounded by the rustic charm of their surroundings. It is March 29th, 1939, and these men are fully immersed in their cue action, skillfully maneuvering the pool balls on the worn-out green table. The atmosphere inside this European pub is palpable; thick smoke fills the air as both players enjoy a well-deserved cigarette break. The monochrome tones add depth to this scene frozen in time, emphasizing every detail from the rough wooden beams above to the intricate patterns on their waistcoats below. John Topham's photography beautifully captures not only a moment but also an era that witnessed great change and resilience. This photograph serves as a testament to how places like this old mill were repurposed during difficult times - transforming into vibrant social hubs where people could gather for leisurely activities such as billiards. As we gaze upon this image today, it reminds us of our shared history and how even amidst adversity, communities find ways to adapt and thrive.
