Carrington House Hostel: A Glimpse into the Past of Affordable Housing for Working Men in Deptford, London This evocative collection of interior views transports us back in time to Carrington House Hostel in Deptford, London, as it stood in its early days in 1903. Established by the London County Council, this hostel was designed to provide affordable accommodation for working men, offering them a roof over their heads and a sense of community. Top left: The Sleeping Cubicle - A quiet and simple space, the sleeping cubicle was where the men would rest after a long day's work. Each cubicle was equipped with a single bed, a small shelf, and a coat hook, providing the essentials for a good night's sleep. Clockwise from top right: Smoking Room - The smoking room was a communal area where men could unwind and socialize. With its high ceilings, large windows, and comfortable chairs, it was a popular gathering place for residents. Dining Hall - The dining hall was where the men would gather for their meals. The long tables and benches were set for communal dining, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared experience. Lavatory (Wash-room) - The lavatory, or wash-room, was a functional space where the men could maintain their personal hygiene. With its simple design and practical fixtures, it was an essential part of daily life at Carrington House Hostel. Carrington House was a pioneering example of social housing, providing a safe and affordable alternative to the overcrowded and unsanitary conditions that many working men faced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These interior views offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the men who called Carrington House their home.
