EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a Lyons Nippie, a waitress employed by the iconic Lyons Corner Houses, in the act of clearing tables during the early 1930s. The Lyons Corner Houses, a British institution, were a popular destination for affordable food and beverages, offering a unique dining experience that combined the atmosphere of a restaurant and a tea room. The Nippie, dressed in her distinctive uniform consisting of a white blouse, pinny, and net cap, carries a tray laden with used dishes and cutlery, while a net bag is slung over her shoulder for easy disposal. The table behind her is adorned with remnants of a hearty meal - empty coffee cups, ashtrays filled with cigarette butts, and crumbs of bread. The curtains in the background, drawn back to reveal the bustling activity of the Corner House, add to the sense of energy and activity. The Lyons Corner Houses were a significant part of British social history, providing employment opportunities for thousands of women, many of whom were young and unmarried. The Nippies were renowned for their efficiency and attentiveness, ensuring that customers were well-served and their tables were kept clear. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the daily routine of a Lyons Nippie and the vibrant atmosphere of a Lyons Corner House during the early 1930s.
