EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment from the past as a large party of inmates from the Camberwell Workhouse in South East London enjoy their annual outing to Bognor Regis, West Sussex, in the late 1890s. The image, taken in 1896, shows rows upon rows of elderly and vulnerable people, many of whom were likely to have been destitute or infirm, seated at long tables laden with food and a large bottle of beer at each place setting. The scene exudes a sense of community and camaraderie, as the inmates, dressed in their best clothes, raise their glasses in a toast to their brief respite from the harsh realities of life in the workhouse. The annual outing was a charitable initiative, organized by the Union, to provide a day of leisure and relaxation for those in their care. The trip to the seaside town of Bognor Regis, with its fresh air and beautiful scenery, offered a welcome break from the cramped and often unsanitary conditions of the workhouse. The provision of food and drink, including the beer, was a small but significant gesture of kindness and compassion. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insight into the living conditions and social customs of the Victorian era. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of community support and the role that charitable organizations played in providing care and respite for those in need. The image also highlights the importance of preserving historical records and the role that they play in helping us to understand and learn from the past.
