EDITORS COMMENTS
The Bungalow, Whiteway Colony: A Symbolic Rejection of Property and the Birth of Communal Living in Gloucestershire, England (1898) This evocative photograph captures The Bungalow, a key building at Whiteway Colony in Gloucestershire, England. Established in 1898, this unique settlement was the brainchild of a group of Tolstoyan anarchists who sought to reject the traditional notions of property ownership and live communally. In a bold and symbolic act, they burnt the property deeds as a testament to their rejection of the legal framework that underpins the concept of private property. Located near Stroud, Whiteway Colony was a Victorian-era experiment in communal living, inspired by the teachings of Russian philosopher Leo Tolstoy. Covering 40 acres of land, the colony was built on the principles of anarchy and communism, with residents sharing resources, labor, and decision-making responsibilities. The Bungalow, with its rustic charm and simple design, served as a central hub for the community. Today, it stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Whiteway Colony, which continues to thrive and uphold the values of communal living and shared ownership. This photograph offers a glimpse into a fascinating chapter of history, where a group of like-minded individuals sought to challenge the status quo and create a new way of life based on shared values and communal living.
