EDITORS COMMENTS
A poignant moment captures a travelling gipsy family inside their new rehoused bungalow in Beare Green, Surrey, during the 1960s. The photograph reveals a sense of tranquility and adaptation to their new environment. The girl nearest the camera, dressed in a cardigan and with neatly plaited hair, is engrossed in her notebook, pen in hand, showcasing her dedication to her education and schoolwork. The family's belongings, including a newspaper and cups on the table, add to the sense of domesticity. Through the window, the lush green landscape outside can be seen, providing a stark contrast to the historical and nomadic lifestyle that the family had previously led. The bungalow, with its tidy curtains and crossword puzzle visible on the newspaper, speaks to the efforts of the local authorities to provide suitable housing for this family and others like them. The photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of gipsy rehousing, a process that began in the 1960s and aimed to provide more stable living conditions for this community. The image also highlights the resilience and adaptability of the family, as they embrace the new opportunities and challenges that come with settling down in one place. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions of the gipsy community, while also showcasing the progress and changes that have taken place over the years. The girl's focused expression and the family's neat and tidy living space serve as a testament to their determination to thrive in their new home.
