The Edith Priday Home, located in the heart of Blackheath, London, was a vital establishment of the British Red Cross Society during the 1940s. This photograph captures the essence of the home, which provided a sanctuary for those in need, particularly for the elderly, disabled, and refugees, during the tumultuous period of World War II. 3.
