Brune Street, London

Uncategorized 1 Minute
Soup kitchens for the Jewish community in London had existed since 1854. The one pictured above in Brune Street, Spitalfields, London opened in 1902. Above the frontage, the wording ‘Soup Kitchen for the Jewish Poor’, and the opening date 5662 (Jewish calendar) and 1902 can clearly be seen. This photograph is difficult to date, although I would estimate it to be around the 1950s. Also, above the door, a soup bowl and ladle can be seen. The ‘Way In’ and ‘Way Out’ doors are either side of the main entrance. Image: Photographer unknown
I took this photograph in April 2021. Following the closure of the soup kitchen in 1992, the building has been repurposed and is now occupied by seven apartments.
