EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print titled "Salvation Army at Cheetham Brick Works" we witness a moment of compassion and support amidst the harsh realities of homelessness in Manchester during the 1950s. A dedicated member of the Salvation Army can be seen distributing cups of tea to some of the city's homeless individuals who seek refuge on what is known as the Higgins Brick Croft near Broughton Street, aptly referred to as their "Embankment Benches". The photograph captures a late evening scene inside one of the brickworks' kilns, where these vulnerable souls find shelter after receiving their evening meal. It is only once the guard dogs have been removed that they are allowed access to this area within the brickyard. The image serves as a poignant reminder of both despair and hope. During an era marked by economic struggles and social challenges, charitable organizations like the Salvation Army played a vital role in providing aid and sustenance to those most in need. This snapshot encapsulates their unwavering commitment to serving marginalized communities, offering warmth not just through hot beverages but also through acts of kindness and empathy. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, let us acknowledge both how far we have come in addressing homelessness while recognizing that there is still much work ahead. May it inspire us all to continue supporting charities and initiatives aimed at eradicating homelessness for good.
