Chapel Cheshire Crutches Frodsham Services Supported Welfare 1907
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite and hope at the National Children's Home (NCH) in Frodsham, Cheshire, circa 1907. The image shows a group of girls, some clad in simple dresses and others supported by crutches, ascending the steps of the chapel located on the grounds of the home. The chapel, with its tall, arched windows and intricately carved wooden doors, stands as a symbol of the spiritual and emotional support provided by the institution. The National Children's Home, established in 1887, was a leading British charity dedicated to providing welfare and social care services to children in need. At the turn of the 20th century, the home catered to over 1,000 children, offering them a safe and nurturing environment, education, and medical care. The girls in this photograph, some of whom appear to be recovering from illness or injury, are a testament to the vital role the home played in the lives of countless children during this era. This poignant scene highlights the transformative power of care and compassion, as the girls, though facing various challenges, come together to attend chapel services. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the essential role that charities like the National Children's Home played in offering support and services to vulnerable children in Britain during the early 1900s.
