Work rooms of Lady Sclater, WW1
A page from The Sketch showing society ladies hard at work at the work rooms of Lady Sclater at 18 Pont Street, London. In the top photograph, a group are making life-saving waistcoats for men on mine-sweepers and the second photograph shows the slipper making room.

To give some idea of the output, 19, 813 ladies attended the work rooms between January and June 1917 and during that six month period, 174, 000 articles were made and despatched. Date: 1918
