EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite and care at the St Cyprians Home for Boys in Stockwell, London, during the 1920s. Established in 1914 by the Waifs and Strays Society, the home provided a safe and nurturing environment for boys who were abandoned, neglected, or in need of a loving foster home. The image shows two boys, one sitting contentedly on a swing, the other standing nearby, both clad in simple, practical clothing. A kind and attentive member of staff looks on, her expression filled with warmth and concern. The setting is the Boys' Receiving Home, located at 197 Clapham Road, a stone's throw from the bustling streets of Stockwell. The Waifs and Strays Society, which later became the Catholic Children's Society, renamed the home St Cyprians in the 1920s, reflecting its commitment to providing a sanctuary for young boys in need. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the past, reminding us of the vital role that charities and caring individuals have played in supporting vulnerable children throughout history.
