1. Title: A Charitable Gaze over Newington: Birds Eye View of the Fishmongers Almshouses with Passing Vehicles, c. 1840 2.. This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, presents a bird's eye view of Newington, a historic district in north east London, circa 1840. The photograph focuses on the Fishmongers Almshouses, a charitable institution that provided retirement housing for elderly and needy fishmongers. 3. The scene is bustling with activity, as an omnibus, a carriage, and a cart make their way along the cobblestone streets. The omnibus, a popular mode of transportation during this era, is filled with passengers, while the horse-drawn carriage and cart add to the vibrant mix of vehicles. 4. The Fishmongers Almshouses, with their red-brick facade and arched windows, stand proudly in the background. The buildings, designed to offer a dignified and comfortable living arrangement for the elderly and impoverished fishmongers, were a testament to the compassionate spirit of the community. 5. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the historical context of Newington and its rich heritage. The Fishmongers Almshouses, which still exist today, are a reminder of the area's past and its commitment to providing care for its most vulnerable residents. 6. The inclusion of the passing vehicles adds an element of liveliness and activity to the scene, showcasing the daily life of the community during this period. The photograph is not only a visual representation of the history of Newington but also a poignant reminder of the importance of charitable institutions and their role in providing for the needs of the elderly and less fortunate. 7. This image, with its intriguing blend of history, charity, and everyday life, is a must-have for anyone interested in the social and architectural history of London. The photograph is available for purchase as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, and is sure to be a valuable addition to any collection.
