EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this intriguing entrance ticket to the Rowton House in Hammersmith, West London, circa 1902. The Rowton Houses, a total of six large, purpose-built hostels established by Montagu William Lowry Corry, Lord Rowton, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, offered affordable lodgings for working men. This particular ticket grants entry to the Hammersmith location, which was one of the six establishments erected around London to provide much-needed shelter and comfort for the working class. Lord Rowton, born in 1838, was a visionary philanthropist who recognized the need for affordable housing for the working men of London. His solution was the Rowton Houses, which featured individual cubicles with beds, washbasins, and transferable tickets, making it easier for men to move between houses if necessary. Each house could accommodate hundreds of men, providing them with a safe and clean place to rest during their time in the city. This ticket, priced at sixpence, grants the bearer entry to the Rowton House in Hammersmith. The Edwardian-era design showcases the intricate detail and historical significance of this important piece of social history.
