Hungary, 1964
The Dinner Ladies was an all too short British sitcom created by the wonderful Victoria Wood. There were only 16 episodes but each one was perfectly set and executed. This photo reminds me very much of that series!

Budapest, 1958
Not sure why you would take a briefcase with you while at the local swimming pool. And the woman behind the man also appears to be carrying a bag. People are strange sometimes.

Budapest, 1978. Yesterday I posted a photo from the Fortepan archives of a record store in Budapest, taken in 1959. Twenty years later things have changed, somewhat at least. We have coloured album covers now in brightly lit stores, but records are still kept behind the counter!
Incidentally the singer in the poster at the top right, Zorán, is still touring at the age of 82, 46 years after this photo was taken.Source: Fortepan[207292] / FŐFOTÓ

Budapest, 1981. A quilt maker stands in the doorway of her shop in the capital's District XIII. Hungarian goose feathers have always been highly prized in the making of pillows and quilts.

Vác,1960. Hungary's only triumphal arch, built in 1764 in honour of the visit by the Habsburg Maria Theresa who was at that time was the queen of Hungary. The story goes that the arch was so newly built when she arrived that, fearing it might collapse, she refused to ride through it.
The car in the photo is an East German AWZ P70 "Zwickau".

Budapest, 1990. Members of a Jewish community centre in Budapest enjoy some time together. If you look very closely at the inside of the left arm of the pianist you will see a small tattoo. These were only given to prisoners at the Auschwitz concentration camp, and only to those selected to work, rather than those murdered in the gas chambers. She survived.
