Looking Back: ‘Evening Telegraph! Evening Telegraph!’ - in all weathers

Steven Nurse was out in all weathers selling the Peterborough Evening Telegraph on Cathedral Square for about five years – I photographed him in 1981, writes street photographer Chris Porsz.

He later worked for Toys R Us and Sainsbury’s, before moving to Essex, where he has been a bus driver for 22 years.

Steven, who is now 69, has three children Sarah, David and Kerry, and his 10 grandchildren keep him very busy in his spare time.

In 2020 he returned to shout out again: “Evening Telegraph, get your Evening Telegraph now,” for one of my reunion photos.

My second picture I took in November 2012 and I wonder – who was the child?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
