EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a momentous occasion as the Duchess of Gloucester inaugurates new East End flats constructed by the Church Army. The image captures the essence of hope and progress during a time between two world wars. Located at Prince Regent Lane in Custom House, Newham, these flats were specifically built to provide shelter for families displaced due to slum clearance and overcrowding. As an advocate for social welfare, the Duchess took on the responsibility of unveiling a commemorative plaque that would forever mark this significant event. Amidst her noble duties, Her Royal Highness found time to engage with some of the residents by playing table tennis. This heartwarming gesture showcased her genuine interest in their lives and brought joy to those who had experienced hardship. Accompanying the Duchess are Prebendary Carlyle, head of the Church Army, whose dedication made these flats possible; and Mrs Parsons, Mayor of West Ham, who played an instrumental role in facilitating this collaboration between royalty and community leaders. The photograph itself is a testament to its era - captured in monochrome tones that add depth and nostalgia. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk as part of their extensive collection showcasing twentieth-century Europeana photography, it serves as a reminder not only of architectural achievements but also highlights moments when compassion met action for societal betterment.
