EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the St Nicholas Homes in Pyrford, circa 1912, showing the Stoop Ward at the Waifs and Strays Society's facility for physically disabled children. The serene setting of Surrey provides a peaceful backdrop for this important institution dedicated to providing care and accommodation for vulnerable children.
Originally established as a home for disabled children, this site later evolved into the St Nicholas Orthopaedic Hospital before becoming known as the Rowley Bristow Orthopaedic Hospital. Over the years, it has played a crucial role in offering medical treatment and support to those in need.
The image showcases a glimpse into the past, highlighting the efforts of organizations like the Waifs and Strays Society in ensuring that every child receives proper welfare and care. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of healthcare and social services for those with disabilities.
Peter Higginbotham's collection beautifully preserves this piece of history, allowing us to reflect on the progress made in caring for physically disabled individuals. The legacy of places like St Nicholas Homes lives on through photographs like these, serving as a testament to our ongoing commitment to providing housing and support for all members of society.
