EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a general view of the scene outside Silverdale House, Hampstead Road, London on 22nd September 1960. The image depicts large crowds assembled to hamper the progress of police who had arrived to give bailiffs support in their attempt to evict Mr. Arthur Rowe, a 59-year-old waiter. Mr. Rowe had barricaded himself in his flat for the past month as a protest against a recent St. Pancras Council rent increase. The photograph highlights the dire living conditions and housing struggles faced by many during this time period. It showcases the determination and unity of like-minded individuals who gathered together in common cause to fight for their rights and challenge unjust policies. Emotion and strong feelings are palpable within the crowd as they demonstrate against eviction, symbolizing their resistance against intimidation and loss of homes. The image portrays a battle between those seeking protection under law and order versus those fighting for control over their own living situations. Uniformed police officers and bailiffs line up outside Silverdale House while tower blocks loom in the background, representing not only physical barriers but also societal obstacles faced by tenants like Mr. Rowe. Overall, this print serves as a poignant reminder of past struggles surrounding accommodation, evictions, demonstrations, protests, and the ongoing fight for better living conditions and housing rights
