EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Haven of Care and Compassion: The Starcross Institution, Exeter's Historical Orphanage for Children with Disabilities The Starcross Institution, formerly known as the Western Counties Idiot Asylum, is a significant piece of Exeter's history, nestled in the picturesque village of Starcross. This photograph, taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the daily life of this once-thriving institution that provided care and education for children with disabilities and orphans. The image captures a group of children, some with disabilities, gathered around a table, engrossed in their studies. Their eager faces reflect the importance of education and the hope for a better future. The presence of a caring adult, likely a teacher or nurse, further underscores the institution's commitment to providing a nurturing environment. The Starcross Institution was established in 1867 to address the growing need for a dedicated facility to care for children with intellectual and physical disabilities, as well as orphans. The institution was a testament to the social welfare movement of the time, which emphasized the importance of providing care and education for those in need, regardless of their circumstances. The Starcross Institution was a beacon of hope and compassion, offering a safe and supportive environment for children who may have otherwise faced a bleak future. The photograph serves as a reminder of the institution's vital role in Exeter's history and the enduring importance of care and compassion for all, especially for the most vulnerable members of our society. This image is an invaluable historical document, providing insight into the lives of children in care during the late 1800s and early 1900s. It is a poignant reminder of the progress that has been made in the field of disability care and the importance of continuing to advocate for the rights and well-being of all children, regardless of their abilities.
