EDITORS COMMENTS
A Haunting Glimpse into the Past: The Forgotten Children of Arundel House, Brixton, 1905 This poignant photograph captures a moment in time at Arundel House, a certified home for poor children, located on Acre Lane in the Brixton/Clapham area of London. Established as a privately run institution, Arundel House served as a refuge for children who were mostly placed there by the poor law authorities. The year is 1905, and the image offers a haunting glimpse into the lives of these young souls. The children in the photograph, dressed in drab and worn clothing, sit in a dimly lit room, their expressions a mix of sadness, exhaustion, and resignation. The atmosphere is somber, with the children seemingly lost in their thoughts, their futures uncertain. The room, filled with simple wooden benches and a fireplace, offers little comfort or warmth. At the time, workhouses were the primary means of support for the destitute and the poor. These institutions, often run by the local parish or private organizations, provided shelter, food, and basic care for those who had no other means of survival. However, the conditions within these walls were often harsh, with long hours of labor, meager rations, and little regard for the well-being of the inmates. Arundel House, like many other certified homes, was a product of its time, a place where the forgotten and the marginalized were sent to live out their days. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a call to remember and honor the stories of those who came before us.
