EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily routine of the Kitchens at the Lambeth Schools in West Norwood, South London, during the late Edwardian era. The image, taken around 1902, shows a group of dedicated staff and inmate helpers preparing meals for the workhouse children residing at the Schools on Elder Road. The large, imposing kitchen is filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of cooking. A dominating cooking range, complete with two coppers, takes center stage, while the staff and helpers, dressed in their white aprons, work diligently at the tables, preparing food and setting the table for the young residents. The presence of a young Charlie Chaplin in the Lambeth Schools in 1898 adds an intriguing historical connection to this photograph. Chaplin, who would later become a world-renowned comedian and film star, was among the thousands of children who found themselves in the care of the Lambeth Workhouse during this period. The bare floorboards, worn kitchen fittings, and simple aprons worn by the staff and helpers serve as a stark reminder of the poverty and hardship experienced by many during this era. The Lambeth Schools for Workhouse Children played a crucial role in the education and care of the most vulnerable members of society during this period. The kitchens, with their large cooking ranges and coppers, were the heart of the institution, providing sustenance and nourishment to the children who called it home. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, providing a poignant reminder of the past and the resilience of those who lived through it.
