EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by John Topham in 1937, we are transported back to a simpler time in rural Sidcup, Kent. The image showcases the resourcefulness of maintenance men as they ingeniously employ a double-decker bus to tackle an arduous task - trimming overhanging tree branches above the road. Amidst the backdrop of Europe between the wars, these hardworking individuals epitomize the spirit of perseverance and innovation that defined this era. With their trusty tools in hand, they fearlessly navigate atop the towering vehicle, demonstrating their expertise as tree surgeons or arborists. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from history. It serves as a reminder of how manual labor was once relied upon for even seemingly mundane tasks like hedge cutting. As we gaze at this scene frozen in time, it is impossible not to marvel at both the simplicity and complexity involved in maintaining our surroundings. This photograph offers us a glimpse into everyday life during the 1930s - an era characterized by resilience and determination amidst challenging circumstances. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and adaptability while also serving as a tribute to those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep our communities safe and beautiful
