Object description

Civil Defence workers enjoy tea and refreshments at the mobile canteen during a break, now that the incident has been brought under control. As well as Civil Defence Wardens, also visible are a boy messenger and the Incident Officer, wearing a blue helmet, who can been seen lighting a cigarette in the centre of the photograph. A female Civil Defence Warden waits her turn at the counter. This photograph was almost certainly taken on Conan Street/West Cromwell Road (see also D 7916 and D 7917), near to where it joins Edith Villas.
