EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of women's welfare in early 20th century England. The image shows a crowd of mothers and their children, huddled together in anticipation, as they wait for admission to a Cecil House, one of the women's lodging houses operated by the Cecil House Society. Founded in 1927 by writer and campaigner Ada Elizabeth Jones, better known as Mrs Cecil Chesterton, the society aimed to provide temporary accommodation and support for homeless and vagrant women and their children. Mrs Chesterton, who was deeply moved by the plight of destitute women and their families, saw the need for such a service after encountering many women living in squalid conditions on the streets of London. The Cecil Houses, which were run by a team of dedicated volunteers, offered a safe and nurturing environment for women and their children, providing them with food, clothing, and the opportunity to regain their footing in society. The photograph, taken circa 1932, shows the enduring resilience and determination of these women, as they seek a better future for themselves and their children. The Cecil House Society, which continued to operate until the 1970s, was a pioneering organization that played a crucial role in addressing the issue of homelessness and poverty among women and their families in England during a time when such issues were often overlooked or stigmatized. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the important work that was carried out by the society and the women who sought its help.
