EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this evocative image of the Entrance Hall at Rowton House in Hammersmith, West London, circa 1902. This historical photograph captures a moment in time as men pass through the turnstiles, entering the large, low-cost hostel established by Montagu William Lowry Corry, 1st Viscount Rowton, in 1903. Rowton Houses were a groundbreaking development in the late Edwardian era, providing affordable accommodation for working men. Six such houses were erected around London, each designed with a grand entrance hall, showcasing intricate tiling and impressive tiled arches. This particular hall, with its imposing turnstiles, would have been the first point of contact for countless weary and homeless men seeking shelter. The men in this image, dressed in their work clothes, appear focused and determined, adding to the sense of industry and purpose that permeated these institutions. The high ceilings, ornate detailing, and the warm glow of the light filtering in from the windows create an atmosphere of hope and refuge. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of social welfare in London during the early 20th century, providing a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by working men during this period. The turnstiles, now a symbol of the past, once served as a gateway to a place of comfort and support for those in need.
