EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the midst of a torrential downpour, this print transports us back to 26th April 1934 on Shooters Hill Road in Blackheath, London. The image showcases a London bus defiantly splashing through the flooded street, leaving behind a trail of water in its wake. Reg Speller's lens skillfully captures the dramatic contrast between the darkened sky and the glistening wet road, creating an atmospheric portrait that immerses viewers into this historic moment. The lampposts lining the street stand tall amidst nature's fury, their light casting an eerie glow onto the scene. This photograph serves as a reminder of both the power of natural forces and human resilience in face of adversity. Despite challenging conditions, transportation continues unabated as this bus carries on its route undeterred by floodwaters. This archival piece not only documents a specific event but also offers glimpses into life during that era - from fashion choices to architectural details. It is a testament to how photography can freeze moments in time for future generations to appreciate and learn from. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of England's rich history and how even amidst chaos and uncertainty, life goes on with unwavering determination.
