The Women’s Room
In the 1970s, Beacon House, nestled in Leinster Square, Bayswater, London, functioned as a hostel for young individuals venturing to the city for employment. It offered a haven of safety and security, serving as an ideal launching pad for newcomers to the bustling metropolis. These images spotlight a friendship group of young women residing in the hostel, curated from a broader picture set.
The inspiration for the title stems from a member of the group seen reading “The Women’s Room,” a seminal feminist novel authored by Marilyn French and published in 1977.

A Last Parade
In past years, the annual tulip flower festival in Bowral, New South Wales, was heralded by early morning road races and a lively community parade along Bong Bong Street.
The parade garnered robust attendance and appeared to enjoy strong backing from the locals. Nevertheless, it has ceased to occur. These images capture a glimpse of spectators and local organisations participating in the final two Tulip Time Parades of 2017 and 2018.
