EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from TopFoto. co. uk captures a significant moment in history. On September 11,1946, a crowd gathered outside the Ivanhoe hotel in Bloomsbury, London. The reason behind this gathering was to listen attentively to an address being delivered by squatters who had taken over the premises just the night before. These brave individuals found themselves in a state of siege as they fought for their right to occupy this building. The Ivanhoe hotel holds a rich past, previously occupied by emergency building repairs squads and even serving as refuge for Gibraltar refugees. This photograph perfectly encapsulates the essence of that day - capturing the diverse group of men and women who stood united outside the hotel. Intriguingly, this image not only offers insight into living conditions during that era but also highlights themes of law and order within society. It serves as a powerful reminder of people's determination to fight for their rights amidst challenging circumstances. As we gaze upon this monochrome snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to be drawn into its historical significance. The faces within the crowd reflect both hope and resilience – qualities that continue to inspire us today.
