1973 Apron Area Cauldron Gipsies Gipsy Newdigate Road Side Sack Surrey Tent Wig Wam Bender
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a Gypsy family enjoying a quiet moment inside their bender tent, nestled along the roadside in the picturesque Newdigate area of Surrey, England, in 1973. The Gypsy family, dressed in traditional clothing, huddle together around a cozy cauldron, warming themselves on a chilly autumn evening. The woman in the foreground, wearing an apron and with a child on her lap, tends to the fire while her husband looks on, a pipe clenched between his teeth. Their curious children peek out from the entrance of the tent, their eyes wide with wonder at the world around them. The bender tent, a traditional Gypsy dwelling made from materials such as sacks, branches, and animal hides, stands proudly in the background. The family's pet dog lies at their feet, adding to the sense of warmth and companionship. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the history and culture of the Gypsy community in the 1970s, a time when they were often misunderstood and marginalized by mainstream society. The image is filled with the rich colors and textures of the 1970s, transporting us back to a simpler time and reminding us of the importance of cherishing our diverse cultural heritage.
