Did Harry Jacobs take your picture?

Dawn Hill & Gerald Jacobs at the exhibition

If you or your family were in Brixton in 1960’s and 1970’s check out the photo exhibition in Lambeth Town Hall on until Friday 6th July.

Harry Jacob was a popular portrait photographer with Brixton’s black community. His studio was at 152 Landor Road.  Pop into Lambeth Town Hall, Brixton SW2 1RW between 10am and 8pm Monday to Friday and try to identify people in the photos  – post-it notes provided! Harry’s son Gerald was pictured at the opening last week with Dawn Hill, chair of the Black Cultural Archives.

And if you have any photos at home taken by LE Campbell, who had a studio at 82 Atlantic Road in the 1960s,  please get in touch with the Black Cultural Archives in Windrush Square SW2 1EF.
