Apartment Bermondsey Erected Formed Guinness Pages Poor Provide Trust Walk
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Guinness Trust Building on Pages Walk in Bermondsey, South London, erected in 1890. The building, named after Sir Edward Guinness, 1st Baronet, was formed to provide affordable housing for the urban poor. The Trust, which was not affiliated with the Guinness Brewery, aimed to improve living conditions and alleviate poverty in the area. The image reveals a bustling scene of people going about their daily lives, with children playing in the foreground and adults tending to their chores. The architecture of the building is a striking blend of red brick and white stone, with large arched windows and intricate detailing. The design was intended to create a sense of community and provide ample natural light and ventilation to each apartment. The Guinness Trust Building was a pioneering project in social housing, and its impact on the local community was significant. The Trust continued to expand, providing homes for thousands of families in need. Today, the building stands as a testament to the vision and compassion of its founders, and remains an important part of Bermondsey's rich history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the people who once called the Guinness Trust Building their home. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of affordable housing and the role it plays in creating strong, vibrant communities.
