EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the corner of Peckham High Street and Hill Street in South London during the tumultuous year of 1917. Amidst the backdrop of World War One, the image offers a poignant snapshot of everyday life in this vibrant and diverse community. Soldiers in uniform, some with weary expressions, mingle with civilians, creating a palpable sense of unity and resilience in the face of adversity. The bustling High Street, lined with shops and market stalls, remains open for business, reflecting the determination of the people to carry on despite the challenges of war. Horse-drawn carts and motor cars navigate the cobblestone streets, adding to the cacophony of sounds and sights. At the heart of the scene, the grandeur of the Art Deco-style cinema, the Ritz, stands proudly, a beacon of entertainment and escape for the local population. The cinema, which opened in 1911, would have provided a much-needed distraction from the realities of the war, offering a moment of respite and joy. The photograph also reveals the rich cultural tapestry of Peckham, with people from various ethnic backgrounds and social classes coming together in this bustling hub. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring spirit of community and the capacity for human connection, even in the most trying of times.
