EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1906, showcases the Edinburgh Castle Mission Hall and Coffee Palace located in Limehouse, East London. Once upon a time, this grand building served as a notorious gin palace and music hall, where the clamor of merriment and the pungent aroma of gin filled the air. However, the tide of change was on the horizon as Thomas Barnardo, a renowned philanthropist, set his sights on transforming this establishment into a beacon of hope and positivity for the community. The Edinburgh Castle was meticulously re-opened as a British Workmans Coffee Palace, complete with a Mission Hall nestled at its rear. Barnardo, a man of unwavering determination, sought to provide a sanctuary for the children, offering them a respite from the harsh realities of their lives. The Mission Hall became an integral part of the Coffee Palace, serving as a hub for various social and educational activities. As the sun set on the bustling streets of Limehouse, the Coffee Palace came alive with the sound of laughter and the scent of freshly brewed coffee. The children, dressed in their best clothes, would gather at the Mission Hall for an evening of learning, play, and companionship. The Edinburgh Castle Mission Hall and Coffee Palace became a symbol of hope and care, offering a much-needed refuge for the children and youth of the community.
