EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an early Georgian terrace of houses in the charming neighborhood of Great Ormond Street, Bloomsbury, London. The architectural detail is exquisite, showcasing the elegance and grandeur of this historic era. However, behind this picturesque facade lies a tale of preservation versus development. The Greater London Council has placed a Preservation Order on these houses, recognizing their cultural significance and aiming to protect them from potential destruction or alteration. Nevertheless, the owners of these properties, Rugby School, have appealed against this order as they seek to develop the land for other purposes. The style depicted in this image is reminiscent of the renowned Bloomsbury Group - a collective of intellectuals and artists who flourished during the early 20th century. Their influence can be seen in both the design elements and artistic sensibilities present in these Georgian terraces. Transporting us back to August 1967, this photograph encapsulates the spirit of that vibrant decade known as "the sixties". Parked cars line up along the residential street while pedestrians stroll by, creating a lively street scene frozen in time. This remarkable image serves as a testament to not only architectural beauty but also societal conflicts surrounding preservation efforts amidst changing times.
