Millions Like Her, Birmingham 1951

 There's no mistaking Bert Hardy, although this one looks too stagey to be true - actually, the girl at the window does look awfully like Patricia Roc in this old film about the war effort. I prefer the shot below of wartime goodbyes at Paddington station. I was thinking that Hardy's centenary exhibition at the Photographers' Gallery would make a good outing for an icy cold Bank Holiday - but noticed just in time that it doesn't open until later in the week.

    Talk about nostalgia. I was brought up in just such a Birmingham back yard. Although, I don't remember seeing quite such spivish gents around.

    Thank you x 3!!! I was going to email you yesterday about this exhibit as I heard something about it but had no idea about the who, when or where.

    That's me packing up the hoover...

    But did you have a windowbox, Alex?

    I had a feeling that you'd like this, Darlene. I'll go next time I'm in town and report back.
