EDITORS COMMENTS
St. Cuthbert's Home, located at Cleveland Avenue in Darlington, County Durham, was opened by the Waifs and Strays Society in 1893. This historic photograph captures the essence of the home in the 1920s, providing a glimpse into the past of this once vital institution. The Waifs and Strays Society, also known as the Church of England Children's Society, was founded in 1881 to help alleviate the plight of destitute and neglected children in England and Wales. St. Cuthbert's Home was one of many homes established by the Society to provide shelter, education, and care for these vulnerable children. The photograph shows the imposing red-brick building, with its tall chimneys and large windows, standing proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, are seen playing and laughing in the garden, while others are seen engaged in various activities indoors. The scene exudes a sense of warmth and companionship, reflecting the caring and nurturing environment that St. Cuthbert's Home provided for its residents. The Waifs and Strays Society played a significant role in the lives of thousands of children during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. St. Cuthbert's Home, Darlington, was just one of the many homes that offered a safe haven and a new start to those who had been abandoned, neglected, or orphaned. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the important work that was carried out by the Society and the lasting impact it had on the lives of countless children.
