Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A selection of previously unseen images of London taken by unsung photographic talent Frederick Wilfred go on display at the Museum of London next month.
Capturing the British capital when it was emerging from post-war austerity into the swinging Sixties, the black and white images are remarkable documents of city life.
Although little known, Wilfred (1925-2010) was a professional photographer specialising in portraiture, for which he won numerous awards.
His style contains something of the nostalgic charm familiar to post-Second World War photography.
Some viewers might recognise Twickenham Lido (long since closed, pictured above), the corner of Edgware Road tube and the iconic Battersea Power Station pouring smoke from all four chimneys.
There is little documentation to accompany the images and curator Francis Marshall is requesting anyone who recognises and unknown place or person to email fred@musuemoflondon.org.uk.
The exhibition of Wilfred's work will form part of the London Festival of Photography.
