EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the main avenue at Chorlton Union Cottage Homes in Styal, Cheshire, taken in the year 1907. The Chorlton Union Cottage Homes were established in 1898 by the Chorlton Union, a local poor law union, to provide housing for pauper children who were separated from their families and living in the workhouse. The rural setting of this Edwardian village offered a respite from the harsh conditions of the workhouse, providing a more humane and less institutional environment for the children. The image showcases the quaint cottages lining the main avenue, each with its own garden and front porch. The children who lived here would have enjoyed a sense of community and belonging, far removed from the isolation and hardship of the workhouse. The buildings, with their red-brick facades and slate roofs, exude a sense of history and tradition, reflecting the values of the time. The Chorlton Union Cottage Homes were a significant part of the social welfare system in the late 1800s and early 1900s, providing a safety net for those in need. However, by the mid-1900s, the need for such institutions began to decline, and the Chorlton Union Cottage Homes were eventually closed. Today, the site forms part of Styal Prison, a stark reminder of the complex history of social welfare and the challenges of addressing poverty and homelessness. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of those who lived in the Chorlton Union Cottage Homes and shedding light on the history of social welfare in Cheshire and beyond.
