EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by John Topham, we are transported back to the year 1936. The image depicts a young boy standing in awe as he gazes at the flooded Sidcup swimming pool. The once vibrant and lively pool now lies submerged under water due to the relentless onslaught of bad weather. The monochrome tones add a sense of nostalgia, emphasizing the historical significance of this moment frozen in time. As we delve into the photograph's details, we notice a solitary tree standing tall amidst the floodwaters, its branches reaching out towards an overcast sky. A wooden fence surrounds the perimeter of the pool, serving as a reminder that this was once a place filled with laughter and joy. Now deserted and desolate, it stands as evidence of nature's power to disrupt our daily lives. The open-air setting adds an additional layer of melancholy to this scene; one can almost imagine echoes of children splashing in water that is no longer there. This evocative image serves as a testament to both human resilience and vulnerability when faced with unpredictable forces beyond our control. As we reflect on this snapshot from history, let us remember that even amidst adversity, there is always hope for brighter days ahead.
