1. Title: A Nostalgic Glimpse into the Past: The National Children's Home at Harpenden in the 1930s This evocative aerial photograph transports us back in time to the National Children's Home in Harpenden during the 1930s. The image offers a unique perspective of the idyllic campus, with its meticulously arranged cottage homes encircling a lush, central green. The National Children's Home was a charitable institution dedicated to providing care and support for children in need. Established in the late 19th century, the home grew to become a significant provider of residential care throughout the UK. The Harpenden site, with its picturesque layout, was just one of many homes operated by the organization. In this photograph, we can see the cottage homes arranged in a semi-circle around the central green, creating a sense of community and unity. Each cottage appears to have its own distinct character, with chimneys rising from the rooftops and gardens nestled alongside. The verdant green space in the center serves as a tranquil oasis, providing a place for children to play, relax, and socialize. The 1930s were a period of growth and development for the National Children's Home, as well as for the wider community. This aerial view offers a glimpse into the organization's history, showcasing the commitment to creating a nurturing and supportive environment for children in need. Today, the legacy of the National Children's Home continues to inspire and influence the child welfare sector, reminding us of the importance of compassion, care, and community.
