This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures a candid moment on New Coventry Street, looking across toward the junction with Haymarket in 1969. In the foreground, two young Metropolitan Police officers, wearing summer-issue light blue short-sleeved shirts and traditional custodian helmets, are engaged in conversation with a woman in a green knitted jumper and black gilet. Behind them, the prominent curved facade of a Dunn & Co menswear shop anchors the corner, showcasing the retail landscape of the late sixties. The busy London street is filled with period traffic, including black Austin FX4 taxicabs and a blue Mini estate navigating the intersection. Pedestrian railings and the soft, natural light of a city afternoon add to the documentary feel of this street scene. This digital download is an evocative record of London’s social history and mid-century urban life, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage documentary wall art.
