EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Soho, London, in 1973. The scene is centered around 20 Greek Street W1, home to Hopkins Purvis & Sons Ltd, a renowned paint merchants of the time. The photograph, taken by Robert Stallard, transports us back to the 1970s and the vibrant energy of this iconic district. The narrow, cobblestone street is filled with a sense of activity. Two vans are parked on the road, their doors open, revealing a riot of colors from the paint cans inside. The pavement is crowded with men in work clothes, some carrying paint cans or brushes, others deep in conversation. Pedestrians, dressed in the fashion of the era, navigate their way through the throng, adding to the sense of movement and life. The shopfront of Hopkins Purvis & Sons Ltd is a hive of activity, with men loading paint cans onto a cart and others mixing paint behind the counter. The shop sign, with its bold, red lettering, stands out against the muted tones of the photograph. This image offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the trades and traditions of Soho's paint merchants and the lively, bustling atmosphere of the area in the 1970s.
