EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1908, captures a glimpse into the past of Mint Street Workhouse in Southwark, south London. The image shows the entrance to St Saviour's Union Workhouse, located on Mint Street, which was originally run by the parish of St George the Martyr. The narrow, brick building, now demolished, looms in the background, its Edwardian architecture a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the bustling street outside. Passers-by are seen going about their business, including a man carrying a small child. The scene is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced by the poor and destitute during this historical period. The workhouse, a last resort for those in need, was a place of hardship and struggle, where the able-bodied were required to work in exchange for shelter and food. The entrance to the workhouse, located on the right-hand side of the image, is a narrow, imposing structure, with a heavy metal gate and a sign bearing the name of the union. The atmosphere is one of somberness and despair, a far cry from the vibrant and diverse community that now thrives in the area. This photograph offers a unique insight into the history of Mint Street and the lives of those who once called the workhouse their home. It is a poignant reminder of the past, and a testament to the resilience and determination of those who lived through it.
