EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of joy and innocence at the St Martins Waifs and Strays Home in Surbiton, England, circa 1900. The image shows a group of boys playing in the home's playground, with one boy gracefully swinging while another holds a curious cat. The St Martins Waifs and Strays Society Home was established in 1869 to provide care and shelter for orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. The home offered these children a safe and nurturing environment, with a focus on education and social development. The boys in the photograph embody the spirit of the home, enjoying a simple pleasure of childhood while wearing their uniforms. The presence of the cat adds a sense of warmth and companionship, reflecting the loving and caring atmosphere of the home. The playground, filled with swings, seesaws, and other play equipment, served as a vital space for the children to engage in physical activity and social interaction. The St Martins Waifs and Strays Home played a significant role in the history of children's welfare in Surbiton and beyond. It provided a crucial safety net for children in need, offering them a chance to grow and thrive in a supportive and caring environment. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the importance of providing care and support for children, especially those who have been orphaned or abandoned.
