Description: | These boys are on holiday in the Isle of Wight, at the West Central Jewish Lads' Club summer camp. The Club was founded in 1898, providing various sports and other activities for the boys of the West End. By 1908 it had 250 members. It continued until after World War II, but closed in 1955 due to the decline of the Jewish population of the West End. As with many London youth clubs, the summer camp was very important to the West Central Club's members. It offered them a rare opportunity to get out of the city and enjoy the fresh air and open spaces of the countryside. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Copyright holder unknown. | Subjects: | Communities Leisure | Temporal: | 1928-08 | Source: | Jewish Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
