1948 Olympians

1948 was the last time the Olympics was held in London. The contrast is stark; London was recovering from war, athletes weren’t paid, were training on rations whilst working full-time and most had to hand sew their own kits….. During the past few years, I have been meeting with, photographing and recording interviews with the British Olympic Team from the 1948 Olympics.

Read the article inĀ The Guardian.
