EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of departure for a group of needlewomen and their children as they prepare to embark on a new life in Australia, following their unemployment due to mechanisation in England. The photograph was taken at the transit home at Hatton Garden in 1853, a temporary shelter established to provide care and support for these women and their children before their journey overseas. During the mid-19th century, the textile industry in England underwent significant changes with the introduction of mechanised manufacturing processes, leading to widespread unemployment among skilled craftswomen, including needlewomen. In response, various charities and organisations, including the Female Emigration Society, stepped in to help these women and their families by providing financial assistance and facilitating their emigration to Australia. The transit home at Hatton Garden served as a crucial stopover for these families, providing them with essential provisions, medical care, and temporary accommodation before they boarded their ships. The children in this photograph, dressed in their best clothes, are likely to have spent their final days in England at the home, surrounded by the comfort and care of their fellow travellers and the dedicated staff. This poignant image offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the lives of these women and their children, as they leave behind their old lives and embark on a new journey towards an uncertain future in a far-off land. The transit home at Hatton Garden represents a vital chapter in the history of social housing and the provision of care for the most vulnerable members of society during times of economic upheaval.
