EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1839, offering a glimpse into the Watermens Almshouses in Queens Arms Court, located on Upper Ground Street in Southwark, London. The image captures the essence of 19th-century Britain with its charming architecture and historical significance. These almshouses were established as a charitable initiative to provide housing for the poor and destitute individuals of that era. The building stands tall amidst a quaint courtyard, showcasing its beautiful dormer windows and traditional English design elements. Its exterior exudes an air of elegance despite being built for those facing poverty. The photograph allows us to imagine what life was like during this period - footpaths winding through the country lanes, people walking along the road outside these almshouses. It is a testament to both the architectural prowess of that time and the compassion shown by society towards those less fortunate. Preserved within this watercolour-like image are not just bricks and mortar but also countless stories of resilience, hope, and community support. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history captured by an anonymous artist or photographer, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of social welfare while appreciating our shared heritage. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery today, this print serves as a reminder that even in times marked by poverty, there were always individuals willing to extend their hand in charity towards others who needed it most.
