EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the 1860s, depicting a group of barefoot, destitute individuals gathered outside the Houseless Poor Asylum on Banner Street in Cripplegate, London. Established by the Houseless Poor Society, this asylum served as a hostel and refuge for the city's most vulnerable population - the homeless and impoverished. The image presents a stark contrast to the Victorian era's grandeur and prosperity, revealing the harsh realities of life for the underclass. The individuals in the photograph appear to be deep in conversation, their expressions etched with worry and fatigue. Their bare feet, visible on the pavement, highlight their lack of resources and the harshness of their living conditions. The paupers, as they were often referred to, were a common sight on the streets of London during this period, and this photograph offers a poignant glimpse into their daily existence. The Houseless Poor Society aimed to provide temporary shelter and assistance to those in need, but the demand far outweighed the resources available. The photograph underscores the immense challenges faced by the society in addressing the root causes of poverty and homelessness. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the past and the ongoing struggle against poverty and homelessness. It invites us to reflect on the progress made since the 1860s and the work that still needs to be done to ensure that everyone has access to basic necessities and a safe place to call home.
