1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: The Mat-making Room at Coldbath Fields Prison, Clerkenwell (1862) This evocative photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the Mat-making Room at Coldbath Fields Prison in Clerkenwell, London, during the year 1862. The room, filled with paupers engaged in their daily labor, stands as a poignant testament to the harsh realities of life in a Victorian-era workhouse and prison. Coldbath Fields Prison, located in the heart of Clerkenwell, was a notorious institution known for its harsh living conditions and punitive regime. The prison housed both debtors and paupers, with the latter often being forced to work in the prison's various workshops to earn their keep. The mat-making room, as depicted in this photograph, was one such workshop. The image reveals a large, dimly lit room, with rows upon rows of workbenches arranged in a military-like fashion. Each bench is occupied by a pauper, their faces focused intently on their task as they weave mats from straw or rushes. The air in the room is thick with the scent of damp straw and the sound of quiet, rhythmic labor fills the space. The paupers, dressed in tattered and worn clothing, appear to be deep in concentration as they work, their expressions revealing a mix of determination and fatigue. The room's only source of light comes from a few small windows high up on the walls, casting long, narrow shafts of sunlight onto the workers below. This photograph offers a unique insight into the daily lives of the paupers at Coldbath Fields Prison, providing a glimpse into the harsh realities of life in a Victorian-era workhouse and prison. It serves as a poignant reminder of the past, and the resilience and determination of those who lived through it.
