1. Title: A Bite of History: Nourishing the Fatherless Children at Reedham Orphanage, Purley, Surrey This evocative photograph captures the scene of the dining hall at Reedham Orphanage, located on Old Lodge Lane in Purley, Surrey. Founded in 1865 by the Reverend Dr. Andrew Reed, a Congregational Minister, this charitable institution was originally known as the Asylum for Fatherless Children, later renamed Reedham Orphanage in 1904, and then Reedham School in 1950. The image showcases the boys of the orphanage gathered around long tables, eagerly drinking from their cups and eating their meals. The atmosphere is one of community and camaraderie, as the children engage in conversation and laughter, momentarily setting aside the hardships of their lives. The dining hall, often referred to as the refectory, was a place where the orphans could find a sense of normalcy and comfort amidst the challenges of their circumstances. The room is adorned with simple yet functional decor, reflecting the institutional nature of the orphanage. The large fireplace at the far end of the hall adds a touch of warmth to the space, symbolizing the care and nurturing that the children received. The Reedham Orphanage, which was also known as the Home on the Hill, was established to provide housing and education for fatherless boys in a time when poverty and societal hardships were prevalent. The orphanage, which was situated on a hill, offered a respite from the harsh realities of life for these children, providing them with a safe and supportive environment to grow and thrive. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the history and significance of the Reedham Orphanage, which played a crucial role in the lives of countless children in Surrey during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image invites us to reflect on the importance of charitable institutions and the impact they can have on the lives of those in need.
