EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Jewish Board of Guardians' new housing estate on Lincoln Street, located in Mile End Road, East London. Taken on October 17,1933, this image offers a glimpse into the living conditions of immigrants during that era. The housing estate resembles tenement slum dwellings commonly found in the East End of London. Standing at five stories tall, it bears similarities to the buildings constructed by the East End Dwelling Corporation in the 1910s and 1920s. The photograph showcases railings surrounding the estate and sash windows adorning each floor. These architectural details reflect a sense of orderliness amidst an otherwise impoverished neighborhood. It is believed that this housing development was situated near Bethnal Green Tube station, making it easily accessible for its residents. Capturing an important moment between two world wars, this image serves as a reminder of both progress and challenges faced by immigrant communities during that time period. While providing much-needed shelter for those seeking refuge from poverty-stricken areas, these modest homes also highlight the ongoing struggle against poor living conditions. Through this historical lens captured by Between The Wars photography collection from TopFoto agency, we are transported back to a specific moment in history where social issues intersected with urban development efforts aimed at improving lives within marginalized communities like Mile End Road's Jewish population.
