EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Shoreditch Union Cottage Homes in Hornchurch, Essex, circa 1910. The image shows a procession of boys in surplices leaving the chapel, their faces filled with a sense of solemnity and anticipation. The Shoreditch Union Cottage Homes, opened in 1889, were designed to provide housing for pauper children, offering them a respite from the harsh conditions of the workhouse. The village-style settlement consisted of eleven cottages, each accommodating thirty children, as well as schools, a swimming bath, band room, needlework room, workshops, and infirmary. The architectural design of the homes was inspired by the Anglican ethos of the time, with red-brick houses arranged around a village green and adorned with arches, niches, and statues. The boys in the photograph are likely members of the homes' choir, dressed in surplices for a religious service at the chapel. The presence of the band and the orderly formation of the boys suggest a sense of discipline and structure, reflecting the Victorian and Edwardian values that underpinned the homes' mission to provide a nurturing environment for children in poverty. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the history and social fabric of England during the 1880s and beyond.
