First published in 1984, Toynbee Hall, The First Hundred Years is
not just a centenary study, but a personal contribution to the
continuing history of Toynbee Hall, which is the Universities'
settlement in East London, and an institution that has inspired
respect and affection. Its pioneering role as a residential
community living and working in the heart of one of London's most
deprived areas has been maintained. Called a 'social workshop' by
its late chairman John Profumo, Toynbee Hall promotes ventures such
as Free Legal Advice, the Workers Educational Association, and the
Whitechapel Art Gallery. The book looks at the social changes that
have taken place over the 100 years since Toynbee Hall was founded
in 1884, but also notes curious parallels, with persistent patterns
of poverty, deprivation, squalor and racial separation which
characterise the area. Questions about the facts and perceptions of
poverty, the nature of community, the visual as well as the social
environment, and the roles of voluntary, local and national
statutory policy still require answers.
