40 Timeless Snapshots: The Vibrant Life of US East End Unveiled in the Initial Post-War Era

 

40 Vintage Photographs Capture Street Scenes of London’s East End in the Early Post-War Years

Nigel Henderson (1917-1985) was a British artist and founding member of the Independent Group, but he was also a photographer whose work has been compared to that of Cartier-Bresson and Brassai.

These photographs capture the heart of working-class life; Henderson’s unique view of the streets evokes the wit, resilience and character of the local people as well as documenting a way of life that would soon disappear, as Britain moved into the 1960s.
