Description: | Butler Street Girls' Club was founded in 1902 'to provide recreation and instruction for working girls living North-East and East of London'. Due to its location, many of the club's members were Jewish. The club was open every evening except Friday, the Jewish Sabbath, and members had to be over 14 years of age. There was a small entrance fee which members paid weekly. Activities included dressmaking, letter writing and reading, Hebrew, carpet-making, cookery, book-keeping, embroidery, basket-making, drawing, singing, concerts and musical drill. Every Saturday there was a social evening, with dancing and games. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Copyright holder unknown. | Subjects: | Leisure | Temporal: | 1919-1939 | Source: | Jewish Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
