EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a moment in history on January 19, 1977, when St Agnes Place in Camberwell, south east London was boarded up by Lambeth Council after the eviction of squatters. The terrace of houses stands empty and abandoned, with graffiti scrawled across the corrugated iron that reads: "People need homes not fenced off wasteland" and "I thought Home was a politician until I discovered squatting."
The image speaks volumes about the political climate of the time, as residents protested against housing problems and homelessness in their community. The ornate Victorian properties stand silent and neglected, a stark contrast to the message of resistance carved into the walls.
As you study this photograph closely, you can almost imagine the faces of those who once called these houses home. Tattered wallpaper peels away from upstairs windows, while fireplaces sit cold and unused. Each detail tells a story of struggle and defiance in the face of adversity.
St Agnes Place may be just one street in London's vast urban landscape, but its significance reverberates far beyond its borders. It serves as a reminder that for many people, home is not just a place to live – it is a symbol of resilience and resistance against injustice.
