EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the airing yard of St Marylebone Workhouse, located on Luxborough Street in London, around 1901. The workhouse's segregated outdoor exercise areas provided a glimpse into the lives of its diverse inmates. In this image, we see men from different walks of life taking respite from their daily routines. Clad in various attire, these individuals find solace on benches along the lane. One man sits comfortably engrossed in his newspaper, seeking knowledge or perhaps an escape from the hardships surrounding him. Another gentleman dons a bowler hat while deep in thought, adding to the atmosphere of this Victorian-era scene. The photograph not only portrays poverty and destitution but also highlights resilience and humanity amidst adversity. It symbolizes the importance of fresh air and open spaces for those confined within institutional walls. Preserved through time by George R. Sims' lens as part of his Living London series published in 1903, this monochrome portrait offers us a window into early 20th-century Britain. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of our shared history and how far society has come since then. Thanks to Heritage Images for preserving such valuable glimpses into our past – images that continue to evoke emotions and spark curiosity about life during that era within the City of Westminster's boundaries at St Marylebone Workhouse on Luxborough Street.
