EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the entrance to the Kings Cross Rowton House in London, built in 1899 as one of six large, purpose-built, low-cost hostels or doss-houses for working men established by the philanthropist Lord Montagu William Lowry Corry. The imposing red-brick building, adorned with intricate stonework, stands as a testament to Corry's commitment to providing affordable accommodation and care for the working class men of the city. The entrance is flanked by two tall, arched doorways, each adorned with the emblem of a cross, symbolizing the charitable nature of the institution. The children's home and care facility, also part of the Rowton House complex, can be seen in the background. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the living conditions and social welfare systems that existed during the late Victorian era. The photograph, taken in 1899, is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the efforts of Lord Corry and others like him, who sought to improve the lives of the working class population in London.
