EDITORS COMMENTS
St Catherines Church Hatcham Destroyed by Fire, May 6, 1913 This historic photograph captures the aftermath of the devastating fire that engulfed St Catherines Church in Hatcham, Southeast London, on May 6, 1913. The damage caused by the fire amounted to a significant 15,000 pounds. The event was a pivotal moment in the suffrage movement, as the incident was blamed on militant suffragettes. The photograph offers a poignant view of the charred remains of the church, with St Catherines tower still standing tall amidst the destruction. The image also features a photographer with a tripod set up opposite the scene, capturing the event for posterity. The suffragette movement, which advocated for women's right to vote, had been gaining momentum in the early 1900s. Militant suffragettes resorted to arson and other forms of property damage as a means of drawing attention to their cause. The fire at St Catherines Church was one of several high-profile incidents that brought the suffrage movement into the spotlight. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and determination of the suffragettes in their fight for women's suffrage. It also highlights the impact of their actions on the community and the broader historical context of the time.
