EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Pitt Street, the birthplace of Liverpool's Chinese community. Stepping into this bustling neighborhood was like entering a whole new world for seamen from all corners of the globe. To those who called it home, Pitt Street was their entire universe - their "world's end". In this snapshot frozen in time on November 20th, 1937, we catch a glimpse of Kwong Shang Lung, one of the city's pioneering grocers specializing in Chinese cuisine. As he stands proudly outside his shop, surrounded by the charm and energy of Chinatown, we can almost taste the aromas wafting through the air. The scene is filled with life as four men gather on this iconic street corner. Their mixed age range reflects both experience and youthfulness within Liverpool's Chinese community during that era. The atmosphere is electric as they engage in conversation or perhaps plan their next adventure together. Pitt Street itself serves as a testament to cultural diversity and unity. Lined with shops and cafes offering tantalizing delights just steps away from the docks, it became an essential destination for sailors seeking comfort amidst their journeys across vast oceans. Haywood Magee has captured not only a moment but also an entire chapter in history with this remarkable photograph. It reminds us of how communities thrive when diverse cultures come together harmoniously at places like Pitt Street – where dreams are born and memories are made.
