Duckett Street, Stepney Green

Four girls stand in a row on the corner of Duckett Street near Stepney Green. They all wear coats and ankle socks. Across the road is a boarded up building with 'Ban the bloody bomb' painted on the wall.
Fred Wilfred worked as Chief Photographer for Hawker Siddeley Aviation during the 1950s. In 1963 he started his own commercial and portrait studio in Hampton Hill. Wilfred was a member of the Richmond and Twickenham Photographic Society and a founder member of the London Portrait Group. Acclaimed for his portraiture and wedding photography, his documentary work, like this photograph, has remained largely unseen.
