Description
In the space of three days in 1956, Roger Mayne photographed children at play in a street in North Kensington. The photographs of Southam Street became the evidence of a community and a way of life which vanished under the eyes of developers and politicians; the street itself was demolished.
Mayne's work is the evidence of a vanished age, yet works as more than a social document. His pictures capture the essence of the age. He is much admired by contemporary magazines because he shows so much style. The book follows the development of his work from the children in Southam Street to his own family in Lyme.
