1. Title: A Neat and Tidy Dormitory at the East Harling Branch of NIPRCC, Norfolk, 1914 This evocative photograph captures the interior of a dormitory at the East Harling branch of the National Institutions for Persons Requiring Care and Control (NIPRCC), located in Norfolk, England, in 1914. The site, originally known as the Guiltcross Union Workhouse, had undergone several transformations before becoming the Eastern Counties Inebriates Reformatory, run by the Reverend Harold Burden. Later, in 1904, it was taken over by the NIPRCC to house feeble-minded children. The dormitory, filled with neatly arranged single beds, showcases an air of tranquility and order. The room is adorned with simple wooden furniture, and the beds are covered with crisp, clean linens. The walls are painted a soothing shade, and the windows let in ample natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The National Institutions for Persons Requiring Care and Control was a charitable organization dedicated to providing housing and care for those in need, including children, the elderly, and individuals with mental and physical disabilities. The East Harling branch, located in Kenninghall, was one of several institutions run by the organization to address the growing need for accommodation and support during a time when poverty and societal challenges were prevalent. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a historical record of the living conditions and care provided to those in need during the early 20th century. It is a testament to the philanthropic efforts of organizations like the NIPRCC and the dedication of individuals like the Reverend Harold Burden, who worked tirelessly to improve the lives of the most vulnerable members of society.
