Dustmen. Outside the Blue Posts pub, Rupert Street, looking north towards Shaftesbury Avenue. London 1950.
On London's Rupert Street in 1950, two dustmen pause during their rounds outside the Blue Posts pub. One smiles as he hoists a cylindrical metal dustbin onto his shoulder, about to empty it into an open-topped refuse truck. His colleague stands in a relaxed pose, leaning against an ornate lamppost base. The view looks north towards Shaftesbury Avenue, where signs for the pub and an "OFFICE TO LET" are visible above the wet pavement.
