EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a moment of joy and tranquility at the Waifs and Strays Society Home in Clarendon Street, Hull, during the summer of 1911. The Waifs and Strays Society was a leading children's charity in the United Kingdom, dedicated to providing care and support for orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. In this image, we see a group of girls from the home, along with some dedicated staff members, gathered in the beautiful garden that was a cherished part of their living environment. The girls, dressed in their Sunday best, appear to be engaged in a game or activity, their laughter and smiles reflecting the happiness and sense of community that the Society worked tirelessly to provide. The caring and nurturing staff members, who are also present in the photograph, are seen interacting with the children, offering guidance, and sharing in their joy. The lush greenery and blooming flowers in the background add to the idyllic scene, creating a serene and picturesque setting that speaks to the transformative power of love, care, and compassion. This photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the past, reminding us of the vital role that charities like the Waifs and Strays Society played in providing essential services to vulnerable children and families over a century ago.
