I was a gutter snipe in the Surrey Hills district around the mid sixties , that's 1960's . Untold poverty abounded everywhere . A lot of the terrace dwellings were derelict and stank to high heaven , being inhabited by poor wretched alcoholics . Many an adventure ensued around that locality .

I haven't heard that word since I was a child "guttersnipe.". Life must have been terrible for you. I'm sure you had many adventures. I sincerely hope that your life has improved greatly by now. Thank you for letting me know.

I am writing a book on Russians in Sydney in the beginning of XX-th century, and these photographs are really of my particular interest. They will help me to write on street scenes and similar pieces of my work. Thank you again.
