Main Street
Photographs by Ruth Calder, 1952 to 1961
Gallery 1 · 3 April to 30 August 2027
For twenty years Ruth Calder developed other people's photographs for the Harlow Gazette. On her own time she photographed the town: the mill at shift change, Main Street in the 1956 storm, the Saturday dances at the Grange hall.
Shift Change, Harlow Mill
Calder stood at the mill gate with her camera at waist height so the men would not notice it. Most of them look past her, toward home.
