They are, Young Mo, Eileen Fox and Evelyn Brooks (Young Mo is keeping her face turned away from the camera because her mother doesn t know yet about her trip). The skates and scooter are going with them on their hike in case they are unlucky with lifts. 30th August 1955

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1955, we are transported back in time to witness the audacious spirit of three Soho girls embarking on a remarkable adventure. These fearless young women, named Young Mo, Eileen Fox, and Evelyn Brooks, are seen here practicing their hitchhiking skills in preparation for their journey to Spain. The anticipation is palpable as they eagerly await Saturday morning when their grand expedition will commence. To ensure flexibility during their travels, the trio has wisely decided to carry roller skates and a scooter along with them. This clever strategy serves as a backup plan should luck elude them while thumbing lifts along the way. However, it is worth noting that one of the girls - Young Mo - hides her face from the camera's gaze. Her secrecy stems from her mother's unawareness of this daring escapade. The photograph captures not only the enthusiasm and determination radiating from these adventurous spirits but also provides glimpses into London life in the 1950s. A man can be seen nearby casually smoking a cigarette while observing these trailblazing ladies. Arthur Sidey skillfully immortalizes this momentous occasion through his lens, allowing us to relish in an era where hitchhiking was embraced as an exhilarating means of travel. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but wonder about the countless stories and memories woven into each passing car that would eventually lead these courageous souls towards sunny Spain on that fateful day - August 30th
