Description: | A large gathering of Royal Arsenal workers listens to the preaching of a London City Missionary. The crowd are outside Beresford Gate, the main entrance to the military and naval manufacturing stores that stretched over nearly a mile. In 1902, 17,633 people worked in manufacturing at the Royal Arsenal.
The London City Mission preached in places such as markets and factories to reach large numbers of people with the words of the Bible. John Galt, a missionary with the London City Mission, produced this photo to show the work of the mission. He also wrote a small book about open-air preaching, to assist future preachers. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | work Communities | Temporal: | 1900-1907 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
