EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of The Homerton Mission Breakfasts, held every Sunday morning in Mission Hall on Whitecross Street in London, on 5th January 1878. The image portrays the selfless act of providing a free breakfast for the city's impoverished community. Each person, numbering 21 in total, is seen receiving a small loaf of bread and a pint of cocoa, a simple yet nourishing meal to start their week. The Mission Hall, a place of refuge and support, was an essential source of comfort and sustenance for those in need during this period. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of community and compassion during times of hardship. The Homerton Mission Breakfasts were a vital part of the social fabric of London, offering solace and sustenance to the city's most vulnerable residents. This photograph, preserved in the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, shedding light on the resilience and generosity of the human spirit.
