Cypriot home-based machinist | 1954 | © Henry Grant Collection/Museum of London

This Cypriot woman is a home-worker in Camden. Like many Cypriot women in London, she worked at home to produce items for the clothing industry and was paid by the item. Camden, north of Soho where many Cypriots originally settled in London, had attracted Cypriot settlers since before the Second World War.
