EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of joy and hope as the Whitby and Hartlepool Home of the Hull Sailors Orphanages was officially opened in circa 1907. Established in 1895 by The Port of Hull Society, these homes, also known as Newland Homes, were designed to provide care and support for the children of sailors who had been orphaned or left destitute. The opening ceremony was a significant event, attended by dignitaries and local residents from Whitby and Hartlepool, who had generously donated funds to help build and sustain the homes. The children, dressed in their best clothes, are seen gathered around the dignitaries, their faces filled with curiosity and excitement. The Hull Sailors Orphanages were an essential part of the social fabric of the community, providing a safe and nurturing environment for children in need. The homes offered not just shelter and food, but also education, training, and opportunities for social development. The children were given a chance to grow up in a supportive and caring environment, away from the hardships and dangers of the streets. The opening of the Whitby and Hartlepool Home marked a significant milestone in the history of the Hull Sailors Orphanages, which continued to provide care and support for sailors' children for many decades. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital role that community support and charitable donations can play in the lives of vulnerable children and young people.
