EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Hackney Union Cottage Homes in Ongar, Essex, built in 1905 to provide housing for pauper children separated from their families and the workhouse system. The Edwardian-era buildings were a significant improvement from the harsh conditions of the workhouses, with each three-storey cottage accommodating 52 boys or girls. The children lived in a more homelike environment, with separate dormitories, classrooms, and play areas. The driveway leading up to the cottages suggests a sense of community and order. The Hackney Union Cottage Homes were established under the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, which aimed to reform the workhouse system and provide better care for the poor. The Act mandated that children under the age of 16 be separated from their parents and placed in separate institutions. The Cottage Homes were designed to offer a more humane alternative, with a focus on education and training to prepare the children for employment upon leaving. The photograph, taken around 1910, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the history of social welfare and childcare in England during the early 20th century. The buildings, which still stand today, serve as a reminder of the efforts made to improve the lives of the most vulnerable members of society during a time of great social and economic change.
