A house that has saved many many souls from self destruction. Every town should have one for those less fortunate than others. Walk a mile in another man’s shoes before casting judgment
Thank you so much for uploading this. Lived in Camden forever and it’s an important part of our history. God bless these old boys who worked so hard building and maintaining London for all.
Excellent documentary, thanks for the upload. I found it quite moving as I'm currently homeless and have lived a similar life to a lot of these men i.e. no roots so I can relate. I caught a sense of the genuine hearts of the staff who appeared to have a real emotional investment in their roles, a lot of good souls there, tenants and staff.
The man who appears at 5:35 looks identical to the Arlington resident who appeared in an elderly poverty documentary a several years later which is also on RUclips. Only here he is called "Lou" and in the other documentary was called "Fred". If it is the same man in the other documentary he had gotten a lot frailer and made one final trip to his childhood village.
I know the charity who owned it at the time of filming g is still operational as a housing association charity but as for the hostel itself, seems to be closed.

26:04 Yes poor Joe died in Celbridge , Ireland in 2021. He founded several homeless hostels and used his experiences to assist others. I met him in 2020 just before he died.
Love these old documentaries not like the shit they show today

This is powerful.
This is brilliant thankyou for the upload. Very enlightening given technological changes.
That mono brow is beyond reality
There is a similar place in Fieldgate Street in Whitechapel, I think that they were originally built by Lord Rowton.
