Mealtime at St. Saviour's Home for Girls, Harrow: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures a moment of daily life at St. Saviour's Home for Girls in Harrow, Middlesex, during the 1920s. The girls, dressed in simple yet neat uniforms, sit attentively in the dining room, their eyes focused on their plates as they enjoy their meal. The room is filled with a sense of warmth and homeliness, with sunlight streaming in through the windows and a fire burning in the fireplace. St. Saviour's Home for Girls was originally established in 1883 by the Waifs and Strays Society, an organization dedicated to providing shelter and care for destitute, neglected, and orphaned children. Over the years, the home grew and evolved, and in 1901, it was replaced by a new building, which was opened and renamed St. Saviour's the following year. The girls in this photograph were among the many children who found refuge and support at St. Saviour's Home. Despite the challenges they faced, they were able to find a sense of stability and community in this caring environment. This image offers a poignant reminder of the important role that institutions like St. Saviour's played in providing a safety net for vulnerable children in the past, and serves as a testament to the resilience and strength of the girls who lived there.
