EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a moment in history that reflects the ongoing struggle of homelessness and housing issues in London. The image shows the eviction of squatters on Harrow Road, London, on June 17, 1974. A lone policeman stands guard outside the property as all of the squatters' belongings are piled up on the wet pavement.
The scene is filled with discarded furniture, carrier bags full of personal items, suitcases, and rubbish - a stark reminder of the harsh reality faced by those who are forced to squat in empty buildings due to lack of affordable housing options. The evicted squatters look on helplessly as their meager possessions are left out in the open for all to see.
This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the social and political challenges faced by marginalized communities during this era. It speaks volumes about systemic issues surrounding poverty, homelessness, and access to safe and stable housing.
As we reflect on this historical moment captured through this image, it is important to remember that behind every statistic or policy decision lies real people with real struggles. This print serves as a call to action for us to continue working towards solutions that address these pressing societal issues with compassion and empathy.
