EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of quiet industry and rehabilitation at the Southern Counties Inebriates Reformatory in Lewes, Sussex, circa 1908. The institution, housed in the former Lewes Union workhouse, was one of several operated by the National Institutions for Inebriates, a charitable organization privately run by the Reverend Harold Burden. Dedicated to the treatment of women alcoholics, the Reformatory provided a much-needed refuge for those suffering from the disease in a time when alcoholism was often stigmatized and misunderstood. The women in the photograph, dressed in their uniform aprons, are seen tending to the lush garden, their faces expressing a sense of focus and determination. The fresh air and physical activity of gardening were believed to be essential components of the rehabilitation process, providing both a therapeutic outlet and a means of instilling discipline and self-sufficiency. The National Institutions for Inebriates was a pioneering organization in the field of alcoholism treatment, and its efforts were part of a larger movement towards philanthropy and social reform in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. The Reverend Burden's commitment to the cause was driven by his belief that alcoholics could be helped through a combination of spiritual guidance, hard work, and a supportive community. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the Reformatory and the women it served, providing a poignant reminder of the struggles and triumphs of those seeking to overcome the challenges of alcoholism in a time when resources and understanding were scarce.
