EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of the Oban Estate in London, back in 1936. The image showcases the rear of Oban House, with a courtyard filled with children playing and gathering together. It offers a nostalgic view into the past, revealing a moment frozen in time. Located in Poplar, Metropolitan Borough of Tower Hamlets, this council estate stands as a testament to urban life during that era. The modernist facade of the houses adds an architectural touch to the scene, while balconies overlook the bustling city streets below. The photograph reflects not only the physical structures but also provides insight into society at that time. It portrays childhood innocence and community spirit within this social housing development. These tenements were part of Britain's efforts to provide affordable housing for its citizens. The image serves as a reminder of how public services like housing estates played an essential role in shaping neighborhoods across London. This particular shot captures one corner of Oaklands Estate on Poynders Road, Wandsworth. Preserved by English photographer Bridgeman Images and now out of copyright restrictions, this piece holds historical significance as it documents an important chapter in England's residential architecture and societal progress during the early 20th century.
