Street workers. Saint Martin's Court, London, 1950

In London's Saint Martin's Court in 1950, street workers are gathered on a sidewalk where roadwork is underway. Surrounded by their tools—buckets, a sieve, and an upright shovel—the men form a candid tableau of daily labor. While one man actively digs, another leans on his tool, observing. At the center, a young man with a cigarette stands with his hands in his pockets, as two older colleagues huddle nearby. The Thule Theatre Gallery forms the backdrop to the scene, which a passing woman traverses in a motion blur.
