EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Night's Refuge: Salvation Army Dormitory, Westminster, London, 1891" This evocative photograph captures the interior of a Salvation Army dormitory at their night shelter located on Stanhope Street in Drury Lane, Central London. Established in 1891, The Harbour was one of the earliest shelters run by the Salvation Army to provide temporary housing for homeless men. The image offers a glimpse into the living conditions of the men who sought refuge from the harsh realities of poverty and destitution in Victorian England. The dormitory is filled with rows of simple, wooden 'coffin beds,' a common design used in workhouses and shelters during the 1890s to maximize space and accommodate as many individuals as possible. The men, weary from the struggles of the day, lie huddled in their beds, their faces etched with the signs of hardship and fatigue. The dimly lit room, with its sparse furnishings and bare walls, underscores the stark reality of the living conditions endured by the homeless population during this era. Despite the challenging circumstances, the Salvation Army's mission was to offer a helping hand and a warm meal to those in need. The organization's commitment to social welfare and charitable work continues to be an essential part of its legacy, as it strives to alleviate poverty and provide support to the most vulnerable members of society. This historical photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past, and the ongoing efforts to address the issue of homelessness in our communities.
