EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "They carry on each Sunday at their usual corner although now the scene of ruin" takes us back to a significant moment in history during World War II. Captured near Salvation Army Hall, Cambridge Heath, Mare Street, Hackney, in October 1940 during an air raid, this image encapsulates the resilience and determination of a community amidst destruction. Despite bomb damage caused by the relentless Blitz bombings, a band stands defiantly at their regular street corner. The musicians continue to play their instruments with unwavering passion and commitment every Sunday. Their music serves as a powerful symbol of hope and unity amid chaos. The photograph not only showcases the physical devastation inflicted upon London but also highlights the indomitable spirit that prevailed throughout those challenging times. It reminds us of the strength found within communities when faced with adversity. As we gaze upon this poignant snapshot from the 1940s, we are transported back to an era defined by conflict and fortitude. It serves as a reminder of how ordinary individuals carried on with their lives despite living in constant fear of air raids.
