1856 Intemperance Named Note Opening Paradise Poor Slum Slums Sunday Waiting
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1856 with this print from Mary Evans Picture Library. The scene captures a group of working-class individuals eagerly waiting for the pub to open on a Sunday morning in London's Paradise Gardens. The street name alone sets the tone for what is about to unfold - scenes of intemperance, poverty, and camaraderie.
The image provides a glimpse into the historical context of socializing and drinking habits during this era. Pubs were not just places to grab a drink, but also served as community hubs where people from all walks of life could come together and unwind after a long week of work.
As you study the faces in the crowd, you can almost feel their anticipation and excitement at the prospect of entering those doors and indulging in some much-needed refreshment. It's a reminder that even in times of hardship, simple pleasures like food and drink brought joy to those struggling to make ends meet.
This print is not just a snapshot of history; it's a window into the lives of ordinary people living in London's slums during the mid-19th century. So take a moment to appreciate this piece of nostalgia and imagine yourself standing among them, waiting for that pub door to swing open once again.
