EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Piers Corbyn, the younger brother of renowned Labour politician Jeremy Corbyn, in a moment of activism and determination. Taken in Maida Vale, West London in 1975, this snapshot provides a glimpse into Piers' involvement with The Young Liberals during his youth. In this particular scene, we witness Piers at The Squatters Commune on Elgin Avenue as he erects wire defences to protect fellow squatters from eviction by bailiffs. Armed with a hammer and nails, his resolute expression reflects his unwavering commitment to fighting for the rights of those facing displacement. The image exudes the spirit of activism that permeated the 1970s era. It serves as a testament to Piers' dedication to social justice causes even before embarking on his own unique path within politics. Photographer Alisdair MacDonald skillfully captures both the physicality of Piers' actions and the underlying political significance behind them. This photograph stands as a poignant reminder of an individual's ability to make a difference through grassroots efforts. As we delve into history through Memory Lane Prints like these, we are reminded that change is often driven by passionate individuals who are willing to take action against injustice.
