EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the No. 1 Victoria Home for Working Men at 39-41 Commercial Street in the East End of London, a vital refuge for homeless and impoverished men during the Edwardian era. The image, taken in 1902, offers a glimpse into the living conditions of the working class during this time. The building, with its plain facade and large windows, housed beds for rent at the affordable price of four pence per night. For those who could afford it, a single bedded cabin was available for five pence. The working men's lodgings were a common solution for those who couldn't afford the luxury of a private home or rented accommodation. The cramped and spartan rooms, visible in the photograph, were a far cry from the comfort and privacy that many of us take for granted today. The photo also highlights the stark reality of poverty and homelessness that was prevalent in the East End of London during this period. The No. 1 Victoria Home for Working Men was just one of many similar institutions that existed in the area, providing temporary shelter and respite for the countless men who found themselves in desperate circumstances. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the harsh living conditions that many working men endured during the early 20th century, and the ongoing struggle against poverty and homelessness that continues to this day.
