EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Wave of Change: The Wave Lodging House, Canning Town, East London, 1896" This evocative photograph captures the Wave Lodging House at 235 Victoria Dock Road, Canning Town, East London, a historic building that once offered affordable accommodation for working men in the late 19th century. The name "Wave" was given due to the undulating design of the roof, which was intended to mimic the rhythmic motion of the sea waves. The image showcases the corner building, with its distinctive facade and the iconic horse-drawn cart parked outside. The Wave Lodging House was established by the Mansfield House Settlement, an initiative by Oxford's Mansfield College, to provide students with firsthand experience of living and working among the working class population. The photograph offers a glimpse into the stark reality of poverty and living conditions during the Victorian era. The lodging house offered beds and baths for as little as 4d (four pence) or 6d (six pence) a night. The windows of the building, though few, are small and high up, reflecting the minimal living space afforded to its residents. The photograph also highlights the architectural contrasts between the affluent areas of Oxford and the impoverished neighborhoods of East London's Docklands. The Wave Lodging House, with its modest design, stands as a testament to the social history of the time and the efforts made to bridge the gap between the classes. The image, taken in 1896, provides a poignant reminder of the living conditions that existed during this period and the importance of social initiatives aimed at addressing poverty and inequality. The Wave Lodging House, with its enduring legacy, continues to be an essential part of the historical narrative of Canning Town and East London.
