EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the entrance driveway to St. Margaret's Convent in East Grinstead, circa 1915. The serene and picturesque scene transports us to a bygone era, as horse-drawn carriages and elegant vehicles make their way up the tree-lined avenue. St. Margaret's Convent, located in the heart of Sussex, England, was a significant institution in the community during the early 20th century. The convent, which was founded in the late 19th century, played a vital role in providing care and education to orphaned and abandoned children. Part of the convent's sprawling site was dedicated to the orphanage, which became a sanctuary for those in need. The tranquil atmosphere of the convent is palpable in this photograph, with the lush greenery and well-manicured gardens adding to the sense of peace and calm. The imposing gates, adorned with intricate ironwork, stand as a testament to the strength and resilience of the community that came together to support the convent's mission. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the history of St. Margaret's Convent and the important role it played in the lives of countless children during a time when they needed it most. The image is a poignant reminder of the power of community and the enduring impact of the compassionate individuals who dedicated their lives to making a difference.
