1897 Behind Epilepsy Epileptic Inmates Lingfield Suffering Surrey Welfare 1907
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment at the Epileptic Children's Home in Lingfield, Surrey, circa 1907. The Christian Social Service Union established this home in 1897 to provide welfare and care for children suffering from epilepsy, a neurological condition that was often misunderstood and stigmatized during this time. The image shows some of the home's residents playing and interacting with each other, their joy and innocence contrasting with the austere surroundings of the home's buildings behind. The home's founders aimed to create a nurturing environment where these children could receive the medical care and support they needed to live fulfilling lives. The Epileptic Children's Home at Lingfield was a pioneering institution that provided hope and sanctuary for countless children and their families, and this photograph offers a poignant glimpse into their world over a century ago.
