\n Picture: Footballers, Southam St., N Kensington 1958 \u00a9 Roger Mayne<\/em>
\n <\/sup>\n <\/p>\n

Alan Johnson MP, a former Home Secretary, today told Amateur Photographer<\/em> (AP): \u2018I never met Roger Mayne although he entered my life in 1956 when he came to photograph Southam Street, the North Kensington street that I lived in for the first nine years of my life.<\/p>\n

\u2018He captured the squalor of those awful slums but ensured that the people who lived in them were shown in all their humanity (which was important given that the houses we lived in were declared unfit for human habitation in the 1930s).<\/p>\n

‘After he’d heard me mention Southam Street on the radio in 2007, he wrote to me and we corresponded for a while.<\/p>\n

\u2018I was delighted that he gave permission to use some of his amazing photographs in my childhood memoir This Boy<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2018I was so sad to hear of his death and offer my condolences to his family.’<\/p>\n
