EDITORS COMMENTS
Finding Food in London: WW1 - Making Parks and Waste Places Fruitful: This evocative photograph, taken in 1918, captures the spirit of community and resilience during the food crisis of World War One in London. In response to the shortages caused by the war, Finsbury Park and Clissold Park in north London were transformed into productive vegetable gardens. Brickfields, previously unused spaces, were cultivated to grow cabbages, with the help of policemen and school children. The image showcases the collective effort to ensure food production continued amidst the challenges of the war. The children, dressed in their school uniforms, work alongside uniformed policemen, highlighting the unity and determination of the community to overcome adversity. This poignant photograph is a testament to the innovative solutions adopted during this period, turning parks and waste places into valuable sources of sustenance. The image, published in the Illustrated London News in May 1918, is a powerful reminder of the resourcefulness and community spirit that emerged during the hardships of the First World War.
