EDITORS COMMENTS
"In the spirit of post-war town planning and resourcefulness, this intriguing photograph captures the innovative idea of a clock built into a policeman's helmet, eliminating the need for constant time checks. Taken by W.H. Robinson for Pollinger Ltd., this image showcases the clever solution to a common problem during the hectic days of rebuilding and reconstruction following World War II. The humorous touch of the clock's presence adds a lighthearted element to the historical context, reflecting the resilient spirit of the community. During the post-war era, town planning became a priority as cities and towns underwent significant changes to accommodate the needs of a growing population. Recycling and repurposing materials were essential in the rebuilding process, making this clock an excellent example of the ingenuity and creativity that emerged during this time. The image, taken in an unidentified town or heath, features the policeman standing confidently with his arms crossed, drawing attention to the clock on his helmet. The black and white composition adds to the timeless quality of the photograph, transporting us back to a bygone era. This photograph is a testament to the resourcefulness and innovative thinking that characterized post-war town planning. It serves as a reminder of the importance of finding practical solutions to everyday challenges and the role that humor can play in making the world a more efficient and enjoyable place."
