EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Kings Cross Rowton House Cafeteria in London, circa 1899. The image shows a group of working men, dressed in their best clothes, gathered around tables in the bustling cafeteria. The low-cost hostel, one of six established by philanthropist Lord Montagu William Lowry Corry, aimed to provide affordable accommodation and care for working men in the capital. Lord Rowton, also known as "Lord Doss-house," was a wealthy businessman and politician who dedicated his later years to improving the living conditions of the working class. The Kings Cross Rowton House was not just a hostel but also offered a children's home and a care home for the elderly and infirm. The men in the photograph appear to be enjoying a hearty meal, likely provided by the house, as they engage in conversation and laughter. The atmosphere is lively, with steam rising from their cups of tea and the clatter of dishes in the background. The scene is a testament to the importance of community and the simple pleasure of a shared meal. The Kings Cross Rowton House was a pioneering institution in its time, providing a much-needed safety net for working men in London. Its cafeteria served as a place for men to connect, rest, and refuel, making it an essential part of their daily lives. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the history and social significance of the Kings Cross Rowton House.
