EDITORS COMMENTS
The O'Brien family, a snapshot of life in New Cross, London during September 1961. In this print by Mirrorpix from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant and bustling streets of the 1960s. Standing proudly on the front steps outside their modest flat, three generations of the O'Brien family come together. The image captures both the joys and challenges of family life during that era. The bay windows behind them provide a glimpse into their cramped living conditions, highlighting the struggles faced by many families in terms of housing and poverty. Yet amidst these hardships, there is an undeniable sense of unity and love radiating from each member. The elderly grandparents stand at the forefront - weathered faces telling tales of resilience and wisdom gained over time. Behind them, children playfully gather around their parents' legs with innocence shining through their eyes. This photograph encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a poignant reminder of how families have always been at the heart of society's fabric. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece capturing social history, it prompts us to reflect on our own roots and appreciate those who came before us – for they laid down foundations upon which we now stand.
