Cage Lane Mission
At the heart of a bustling Edwardian neighbourhood stands the Mission Hall on Cage Lane, a beacon of faith, fellowship, and moral guidance for the local working-class community. The sturdy red-brick building, proudly inscribed with "MISSION HALL", dominates the crossroads, its doors open to children and families in search of both solace and purpose.
The scene is alive with everyday London life: girls in pinafores walk arm in arm beneath the ornate gas lamp, while a small crowd gathers outside the hall—perhaps awaiting a temperance meeting, Sunday service, or charitable handout.
By 1905, London was a city of great contrasts—growing industry and deep poverty, grandeur and grime—and places like this Mission Hall served as vital anchors of hope and discipline for those on the margins.
