English: Soup Kitchen for the Jewish Poor, Brune Street, London Inscription above the doorway of the Soup Kitchen for The Jewish Poor.
Set up to feed the poor Jewish immigrants who had fled from Tsarist Russian persecution and pogroms following the anti-Semitic May Laws in the 1880s. Over the main door is a sculpture showing a large soup tureen, and below this is the Jewish year date and the Gregorian year of the opening of the building. If one only reads the inscriptions to the left of the date, they read: "Way Out Soup Kitchen."; but in 1902 this would not have raised a smile. The building has been subdivided to make flats.
