EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Wandsworth Union Old People's Cottages, located at Church Lane in Tooting, London. Erected in 1902 by the Wandsworth and Clapham Union, these cottages were designed by the renowned architect C.A. Sharp with the specific intention of providing affordable housing for the elderly poor. The Union workhouses, which were once notorious institutions for housing the destitute and paupers, underwent a transformation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as attitudes towards the care of the elderly began to shift. The Wandsworth Union Old People's Cottages represent this change, offering a more compassionate and dignified living arrangement for those in need. C.A. Sharp, a respected architect of his time, designed the cottages with a sense of warmth and homeliness, featuring red-brick exteriors, gabled roofs, and generous gardens. The cottages were arranged in a semi-circle, allowing for a sense of community among the residents. The photograph, taken in 1902, shows the cottages in their early days, with lush greenery surrounding the buildings and residents going about their daily routines. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the history of social welfare and the importance of providing affordable housing for the elderly. The Wandsworth Union Old People's Cottages continue to stand today, serving as a testament to the vision of the Wandsworth and Clapham Union and the compassionate design of C.A. Sharp. They remain an integral part of Tooting's rich history and a reminder of the importance of community and care for the elderly population.
