Thanks to @jpaprice.bsky.social who gave an excellent talk at #BexleyArchives on Deptford Ragged School which later provided education to working people. Here in Bexley evening classes in arithmetic, dressmaking and leatherwork (1928) had expanded to car maintenance and Tourist French by 1963.

‘Women, frowzy and half-dressed, eye you curiously as you pass… Children, some shoeless, all dirty and ragged.’ These are the words of George Arkell, researcher for Charles Booth’s inquiry into the extent of poverty in London, when he visited Baildon Street, Deptford in 1899.

First World War Christmas, number 9: silk postcards. These cards, hand embroidered in their thousands, were commonly sent by soldiers from the battle zone. Highly regarded, they were a means of conveying Christmas greetings to those at home.
