About this listen
Connie Evans was born in 1921 in London’s East End and was raised in Shoreditch. Living in wartime London, Connie worked in Dalston as a machinist making menswear, before later joining the Auxiliary Territorial Service. While serving, she met her partner, Ted, whom she married in 1943.
In her later years, Connie supported people in need within her local community, supplying wheelchairs and becoming Chair of her local residents’ association. Eventually, she joined the Chelsea Pensioners at Royal Hospital Chelsea, where she gave talks to school children about her wartime experiences. In 2019, the Royal Chelsea Hospital published an article detailing her vivid memories of life on the home front.
Connie passed away in 2025 at the age of 103. We wish to thank Connie and her family for her participation in Seen.
Joshua Bratt’s reflections on photographing Connie for Seen
“Connie was warm, kind and had effortless poise. It was lovely to shoot someone that had lived as long as her and seen so much during her life. She’s a wonderful example to us all.”
