Image description

Working Men’s Clubs were founded in the late 19th c. as affordable places for working-class rest and recreation. They had their own brewery “up North”. Some clubs were “Men Only”, some admitted women. The women pictured here “Doing the Lambeth Walk” were splendid types, cheerful, generous and friendly. I love this picture for its surging, gay abandon. These were the women who worked in factories and essential services through the horrors of the blitz in WWII, while their lovers, sons and husbands fought and died overseas
