EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a Home for Little Girls in Royston, Hertfordshire, England during the 1910s. The image transports us back in time to an era of social welfare and care for children in need. The Home, located in Letchworth, a garden city known for its progressive social policies, provided a safe and nurturing environment for young girls who were orphaned, abandoned, or otherwise in need of a loving home. The photograph shows a group of young girls, dressed in matching outfits, gathered around a table in the Home's dining room. Their smiling faces and rosy cheeks suggest a sense of happiness and contentment. The girls appear to be engaged in a playful activity, possibly a craft project or a game, as evidenced by the scattered papers and art supplies on the table. Despite the cheerful scene, it is important to remember that the girls in this photograph and at the Home were facing difficult circumstances. Many had experienced trauma and loss, and the Home provided them with a stable and supportive environment to help them overcome their challenges and grow into confident and capable young women. The Home for Little Girls in Royston was just one of many institutions dedicated to the care of children in need during this time period. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of community support and the role that organizations like this played in shaping the lives of countless young people.
