EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Welling, London 1938. Typical residential street scene" takes us back in time to the period between the wars, offering a glimpse into the living conditions and general civilization of that era. The image showcases an ordinary residential street in Welling, London during 1938. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that this photograph encapsulates more than just a typical street scene. It serves as a historical document, shedding light on the housing standards and daily life experienced by residents during this transitional period. The architecture of the houses lining both sides of the road reflects the prevailing style of that time - modest yet sturdy structures with neatly arranged windows and chimneys. The absence of cars parked along the curb indicates either limited vehicle ownership or perhaps strict parking regulations. The atmosphere exudes tranquility; children playfully roam around while adults engage in conversations on doorsteps or leisurely stroll down the pavement. This charming neighborhood seems to foster a sense of community where neighbors know each other by name. Through this evocative image captured by Between The Wars for TopFoto, we are transported back to an era characterized by resilience and simplicity amidst societal changes brought about by two world wars. It reminds us how far we have come while also prompting reflection on our own present-day living conditions and what defines our modern civilization.
