Group of Plaistow children

circa 1904

A delightful glimpse into the spirited heart of Plaistow, circa 1904. Ragged boots, mismatched buttons, and cheeky grins—these boys, despite their humble appearance, radiate an irrepressible joy that no hardship could quell.

Their tousled hair, scuffed knees, and lively expressions speak volumes of a childhood spent in the cobbled alleys and smoky backstreets of Edwardian London. Though their clothes are threadbare, their camaraderie is whole and their smiles infectious.

🇬🇧 A priceless window into working-class London life at the turn of the century.
