EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the daily life of the Waifs and Strays Society Industrial Home in Fareham, circa 1893. The Waifs and Strays Society was a British charity established in 1881 to provide care and shelter for destitute, neglected, and orphaned children. This image shows a group of young girls, clad in simple cotton smocks and aprons, engaged in the laundry chores at the home. The girls, some as young as five or six years old, are seen busily washing, rinsing, and hanging out clothes to dry. The laundry room, with its large tubs, wringers, and drying racks, is a testament to the industrious nature of the home's operations. The Waifs and Strays Society Industrial Home in Fareham was one of many such institutions set up across the country to provide essential services to vulnerable children. The children were given shelter, food, clothing, and education, as well as the opportunity to learn practical skills such as laundry work, cooking, and sewing. These skills would equip them with the ability to secure employment and lead independent lives once they left the home. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily routine of life at the Waifs and Strays Society Industrial Home, revealing the dedication and hard work of the children and the staff who cared for them. It is a poignant reminder of the important role that charities and care homes have played in providing essential services and support to children in need throughout history.
