EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of joy and camaraderie among the boys of the Greenwich & Deptford Unions cottage homes at Lamorbey, near Sidcup, Kent, as they proudly display their musical instruments. The boys, dressed in their Sunday best, pose confidently for the camera, with the name of their residence, "The Hollies," clearly visible on the bass drum. The Hollies, which opened in 1902, were established to provide a caring and nurturing environment for pauper children, offering them a respite from the harsh realities of life in the workhouse. The boys' band was likely a cherished activity that brought them a sense of accomplishment and community. The serene setting of the cottage homes, surrounded by lush greenery, adds to the idyllic scene. This photograph, taken around 1905, offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of these young boys, showcasing their resilience and the importance of music and creativity in fostering hope and happiness.
