EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in Lewisham, London during the year 1936. The image showcases a mains water burst that caused chaos in the bustling city center. In this snapshot of history, we are transported back to the interwar period, specifically the vibrant and eventful 1930s. The monochrome composition beautifully highlights the intricate details of this scene. Overhead cables crisscross above shops lining the road, while tram rails run parallel to them. A group of workmen can be seen diligently carrying out ground works amidst the chaos caused by the bursting water main. Amidst it all stands a traffic policeman who valiantly tries to maintain order as double-decker buses and trams navigate through this intersection. The city's power lines add an additional layer of complexity to this already busy street. John Topham's skillful photography perfectly encapsulates both the energy and challenges faced by urban centers during this era. This photograph serves as a testament to how public transport played an integral role in keeping cities connected despite unexpected disruptions like water bursts. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of how even mundane occurrences such as roadworks can become significant moments frozen in time when captured through skilled lenses like Topham's.
