EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Mile End Road in Stepney, London, during the year 1883. The image showcases two remarkable structures: Skinners Almshouses and Trinity Almshouses. These buildings were not only architectural marvels but also served as a symbol of charity and support for the less fortunate. In this snapshot, we see a market stall set up nearby, offering an array of goods to passersby. It's fascinating to observe how commerce thrived amidst such historical surroundings. Additionally, sewer pipes can be seen waiting to be laid, reminding us of the continuous development taking place in this vibrant city. The photographer, John Crowther, skillfully captures the essence of East End life during that era. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia as we witness people going about their daily routines outside these almshouses. This glimpse into Victorian England allows us to reflect on the hardships faced by those living in poverty while appreciating the efforts made by organizations like Skinners Company in providing housing for those in need. As we delve into this piece from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, it serves as a reminder that history is not just about grand events but also encompasses everyday life – from trade on busy streets to acts of kindness within communities.
