We live in an ever-changing world. With the emergence into the 21st century, it seems the pace has speeded up.

Picture a house that, unlike its neighbours, has remained unchanged for fifty years, since 1953 when it was rebuilt after the war.

A house that has been lived in and loved - a record of the times in London in the sixties and seventies. In this house there are traces from different epochs - the gas cooker from the seventies, the mosaic panelling around the bath from the fifties.
There are no double-glazed windows, no central heating; only a "2-bar fire" - an electric heater with red-hot heating bars. As this heater uses alot of power, the house is kept warm in the Scottish way, i.e. the heater is switched off from time to time and, as in the past, extra jumpers are donned. The living-room is, nevertheless, warm and homely - low table lamps casting pools of amber light make the room cosy.

This record in time illustrates a "way of life". The photographs show not only beautiful objects in the house, but also simple things of everyday life. Besides being a document of several decades, these images show that the house is, above all, living history.
