Description:This is another one from May Williams. May took several pictures around the blocks. At the time they may have seemed rather uninteresting but they now act as a record of the commonplace and serve as a reminder of aspects of everyday life. This entrance door for example would not have been an obvious choice for a photograph but it is nonetheless the only one we have. For many people it will being back memories.
