EDITORS COMMENTS
"In this evocative image from the past, a group of determined residents in Bermondsey, London, work together to put up flood barricades in Rotherhithe Street during the 1920s. The year was 1928, and the threat of flooding loomed large as the Thames River continued to rise. With a sense of urgency, the community came together to fortify their defenses, piling up sandbags and reinforcing them with wooden planks. The women and children in the scene are an integral part of the effort, demonstrating the resilience and resourcefulness of the community in the face of adversity. The children, bundled up against the cold, watch curiously as their elders work tirelessly to protect their homes and livelihoods. The scene is one of solidarity and unity, as neighbors banded together to safeguard their community from the encroaching waters. Despite the challenges posed by the floodwaters, there is a sense of hope and determination in this image. The barricades, though formidable, are not insurmountable, and the community's spirit is unbroken. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the power of community and the enduring strength of the human spirit, even in the face of natural disasters."
