EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the innocence and joy of childhood in the 1960s, as two little girls playfully push their dolls in prams on a quiet Balham street in South West London. Dressed in fashionable outfits of the era, one girl wears a mini-dress with sandals and socks, while the other dons a costume complete with a hat and a matching dress and shoes. The girls' hairstyles, with their short bobbed cuts, are typical of the time. The scene is set on the pavement of a quaint Balham area, with a lorry parked in the background, adding a touch of urban reality to the idyllic moment. The prams, or pushchairs as they were called then, are reminiscent of a bygone era, their classic designs a stark contrast to the modern strollers of today. This photograph transports us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and children could find endless hours of entertainment with the simplest of toys. The girls' concentration on their dolls and prams, their laughter echoing through the quiet streets, is a reminder of the innocence and wonder of childhood. This photograph, taken circa 1961, is a precious snapshot of history, offering a glimpse into the past and the everyday lives of children growing up in Balham during the 1960s.
