Eight pics by Bert Hardy from '40s and '50s, first one is quite famous (among photographers at least!)

Those are very evocative photos, he captured things very well.

He used to work a lot for Picture Post (probably before your time when that folded!) He used a second hand Leica.

I thoroughly love to rummage through B/W photographs ... they are often much sharper and clearer than their colour counterparts.
Relished the time I spent working in a museum where we had B/W photos of the mining days and days of the railroad.

In Russia we have a trio like the three stooges - they're called "Самагончики" - So yes, if I'm feeling a bit nostalgic then I'll fire up the laptop and indulge in funny comedy and slapstick...Check the posted link below:

That first picture must be one of the most famous in the country Mike. I read an article last year by one of the girls in the photo. Some interesting insights into her day.
