1. Title: "A Sure Way to Discourage Intemperance: Barbed Wire Surrounding a Public House, Late 19th Century" (c) Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library This evocative photograph captures the historical efforts to curb the issue of intemperance, or excessive drinking, in the late 19th century. The image shows a public house, surrounded by a formidable barrier of barbed wire. The barbed wire fence, a symbol of containment and deterrence, was a common sight in temperance movements during this era. Intemperance was a significant social problem in the Victorian era. Alcohol consumption was rampant, leading to numerous social issues such as poverty, crime, and family breakdown. The temperance movement, which advocated for the reduction of alcohol consumption, gained momentum during this time. One of the most effective ways they employed to discourage intemperance was by surrounding public houses with barbed wire fences. The barbed wire fence served a dual purpose. It not only kept out those who were intoxicated and potentially violent but also made it more difficult for children to gain access to the public house. The fence acted as a physical reminder of the negative consequences of excessive drinking and the community's commitment to addressing the issue. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the historical efforts to combat intemperance and the role that community action and social movements can play in shaping societal norms. It also highlights the significance of the temperance movement in the late 19th century and the innovative ways in which they approached the issue of excessive drinking. The photograph, taken from the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson, is part of the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Picture Library. It offers a unique glimpse into the past and sheds light on the social issues and historical context of the late 19th century.
