1950s Ceremony Flats People Police Women
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1950s in Bristol. The image captures a significant moment in history - the opening of the 3000th Easiform dwelling on Hareclive Road. A group of women eagerly peer through the window of this newly completed flat, their faces filled with curiosity and excitement. As they gaze inside, a vigilant policeman stands guard at the entrance, ensuring security on this special day. Dressed in his uniform, he adds an air of authority to the scene. Behind him lies a bustling street, hinting at the anticipation surrounding this momentous event. Inside the flat itself, dignitaries can be seen attending its official opening ceremony. Their presence signifies not only their support for affordable housing initiatives but also highlights how important these Easiform dwellings were for post-war reconstruction efforts. This photograph is more than just a snapshot; it encapsulates hope and progress during a time when communities were being rebuilt after World War II. It serves as a reminder of how architecture can shape society and provide much-needed shelter for its residents. A testament to both historical significance and architectural achievement, this print from Historic England's Archive allows us to glimpse into an era long gone but never forgotten.
