EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Barnardos Girls Village Home in Barkingside, Queen Victoria House, circa 1913. The image portrays a group of young girls standing proudly outside the grand Victorian building, their expressions filled with hope and determination. Originally used as a receiving home for new arrivals, the Home later transformed into a training establishment for girls preparing to emigrate to Canada and Australia. The girls, dressed in their best attire, appear eager and excited for the future that awaits them. Their stories are a testament to the vital role Barnardos played in providing care and support to vulnerable children during a time when social welfare services were limited. The Home offered education, training, and a sense of community, equipping these girls with the skills and confidence they needed to build a better future for themselves and their families. Queen Victoria House, with its impressive facade and well-manicured gardens, served as a beacon of hope for countless young girls. The photograph not only offers a glimpse into the past but also highlights the importance of organizations like Barnardos, which continue to make a difference in the lives of children and young people today. This image is a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength of the human spirit, and the transformative power of care, support, and education.
