EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a violent scene outside a low pub on the notorious Ratcliff Highway, one of the roughest areas in 19th century London. The title "Turn him out!" adds to the sense of chaos and disorder, as bystanders look on in shock and disbelief as two men engage in a brutal altercation. The dimly lit, cramped alleyway and the dilapidated buildings in the background serve as a stark reminder of the squalid living conditions in the slums of this part of the city. The Ratcliff Highway, located in the East End of London, was notorious for its high crime rates and lawlessness. The area was home to many impoverished families who lived in cramped and unsanitary conditions. The pubs and gin palaces in the area were notorious for their rough clientele, and fights and brawls were common occurrences. This photograph, taken in 1870, provides a glimpse into the social history of London during a time of great change. The city was undergoing rapid industrialization, and the living conditions of the working class were often deplorable. The image serves as a reminder of the harsh realities of urban life in the 19th century, and the struggles faced by those who lived in the city's poorest and most crime-ridden areas. Despite the violence and squalor, the Ratcliff Highway remained a vibrant and bustling part of London. The area was known for its markets, its music halls, and its pubs, which provided a sense of community and escape for the working class. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex and often contradictory nature of urban life in 19th century London, and the resilience and resourcefulness of the people who lived there.
