EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene atmosphere of the Elise Hospital at the Quarriers Orphan Homes of Scotland, located in Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire, around the year 1912. The image showcases the beautiful red-brick building, which once served as a hospital for the children residing at the Quarriers Homes. The name "Elise" is inscribed above the entrance, adding a sense of warmth and care to the institution. The Quarriers Homes, founded in 1873, were dedicated to the care and welfare of children in need, providing them with a safe and nurturing environment. The Elise Hospital was an essential part of this comprehensive social care system, offering medical attention and treatment to the children who called the Quarriers Homes their home. The photograph reveals a group of young girls, dressed in their Sunday best, standing outside the hospital entrance, eagerly awaiting their turn to enter. Their expressions are filled with anticipation and excitement, reflecting the hope and optimism that the hospital represented for them. The boys, also dressed neatly, can be seen playing in the background, adding a sense of normalcy and joy to the scene. The Elise Hospital stands as a testament to the dedication and compassion of those who worked tirelessly to ensure the wellbeing of the children at the Quarriers Orphan Homes. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the importance of social care and the profound impact it can have on the lives of children in need.
