Lockdown in Stamford Hill

Hatzola is an emergency medical service which operates in the area. It’s entirely run by volunteers, like Dovy Sternlicht, pictured here.

The Instagram story on this man’s phone was encouraging prayer for Rabbi Pinter, a community figure who died of Covid-19 the day this photo was taken. The men in the car are Lecheiris volunteers who helped locals with transport, food deliveries and emotional support.

Schools were closed at various points during the Covid-19 lockdowns. Lessons for Motty Davidovits, pictured here, and his classmates were held over the phone.

Covid-19 created a new appreciation for the key workers of the NHS. For months after the pandemic began, people across London and the country stepped outside every Thursday evening to clap or bang pots in a show of support.

For families with children, lockdown meant spending an unusual amount of time together – something which came with challenges and rewards.

In 2020 alone, 73,766 people in England and Wales died of Covid-19. Funeral director Moses Gluck said he received the same number of bodies in a day that he usually would in a month.

The government asked people to "Stay at home, protect the NHS, save lives". People stopped seeing friends, family and neighbours. This girl is looking at children playing in the nextdoor garden.

During March – May 2020, only essential travel was allowed, to get food or medicine, for example. You could exercise outside once a day.
