EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the main building of the London & South Western Railway Servants Orphanage in Woking, Surrey, circa 1915. Originally founded in Clapham, south west London, in 1885, the orphanage was established to provide care and support for the orphans of railway employees. In 1909, the orphanage moved to its current location in Woking, where it became known as Woking Grange. The imposing Victorian building, with its large windows and ornate architectural details, stands as a testament to the charitable efforts of the railway community. The inscription on the building, "Supported Entirely by Voluntary Contributions," reflects the benevolent spirit of the railway workers and their families who came together to support their less fortunate colleagues. The London & South Western Railway Servants Orphanage was a vital institution in the railway community during the late 1800s and early 1900s. It provided a safe and nurturing environment for orphans and, later, retired railway personnel and their spouses. The move to Woking in 1909 allowed the orphanage to expand and continue its important work. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the history and heritage of the railway industry and the charitable initiatives that were an integral part of it. The building, now known as Woking Grange, continues to serve the railway community, providing accommodation for retired personnel and their spouses.
