One hundred years ago, Lord Rowton took it into his head to build a hostel. Being a peer of the realm the gradiose came easily to him, and in 1905 the massive, even forbidding, red-brick edifice arose in Camden Town in London, filled with 382 beds for impoverished manual labourers. Clean sheets, washing facilities and nourishing food were to be provided for the inmates.
