EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the skilled work of Val de Travers Ltd, a renowned company that contributed to the development of London's County Council Estate and Hughesfield Estate in Deptford during the 1930s. The image showcases a snapshot of urban life between the wars, providing a glimpse into this transformative period in history. The monochrome composition adds an air of nostalgia, transporting viewers back to the vibrant streets of 1930s London. Paving experts can be seen meticulously laying down bricks, their craftsmanship evident in every detail. These pavers played a crucial role in creating well-designed pathways that connected various parts of these council estates. Surrounding the workers are rows of houses, representing the result of their laborious efforts. These homes were part of London's public housing initiative led by the London County Council (LCC), aiming to provide affordable accommodation for its residents. Each house stands as a testament to both architectural ingenuity and social progress. As we admire this photograph captured by John Topham, it serves as a reminder not only of Val de Travers Ltd's contribution but also highlights how council homes became symbols of hope and stability during challenging times. This image encapsulates an era when communities were being built from scratch, offering individuals and families alike a place they could call home within these thriving council estates across London.
