EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Doreen Spooner, we are transported back to the bustling shipyards of London in the 1960s. The image showcases Peter Pearson, a hardworking docker from Seven Kings-Ilford, as he begins his long day at 6 am. Standing tall in the center of the picture, Peter exudes determination and strength. The dockers have gathered together, eagerly waiting for their work assignments to be allocated to their respective gangs. This moment captures the anticipation that fills the air before another demanding day of labor commences. These men are dressed in traditional caps and clothing worn by dockers during that era, symbolizing their dedication to their trade. Peter's commitment is evident as we learn that his grueling workday stretches until 7:30 pm - a testament to both his physical endurance and unwavering work ethic. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes clear that these men were vital contributors to London's thriving industrial landscape. Doreen Spooner's photograph not only immortalizes Peter Pearson but also pays homage to all those who labored tirelessly in shipyards during this transformative period. It serves as a powerful reminder of an era defined by hard work and camaraderie among workers striving towards a common goal – building ships that would navigate oceans with pride and purpose.
