Silver gelatin print by Bert Hardy, printed in 1985, titled "A Sight That is One of the Symbols of the District: People of the Elephant Line Up for their Eels". Originally published in Picture Post Vol. 42, No. 2, January 8, 1949. Story titled "Life in the Elephant", about everyday life in London's Elephant and Castle neighbourhood. Caption in magazine reads: "Cow-heel for Manchester. Chaps for Bath. But Eel for the Elephant. Hot, a shilling a basin; jellied, two shillings. Pea-soup, 4d. and 6d a time. Those in line have the patient, no-kidding look of folk given to thinking in pence, not pounds, and to wondering daily where the pence have gone."
