EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1930s, a group of young girls huddle together in the courtyard of a children's home, their faces serious and focused. They are participating in a fire drill, an essential exercise to ensure they are prepared in case of a fire emergency. The importance of learning such drills was fully realised by those in charge of children's homes during this era, when fires were a common cause of accidents and tragedies. The girls, dressed in pinafores and aprons, are practicing using a large, white sheet as a makeshift fire escape. With the help of a matron or other adult supervisor, they carefully unfurl the sheet and hold it taut, creating a makeshift chute for the children to slide down. The girls at the bottom of the sheet assist their peers in climbing up the ladder to reach the top, creating a well-oiled machine of teamwork and cooperation. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its depiction of a simple yet effective solution to a potential emergency situation. Fire drills were an essential part of daily life in children's homes during the 1930s, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of being prepared for unexpected events. The girls in the photograph appear confident and capable, a testament to the value of learning important safety skills at a young age. This photograph is a poignant snapshot of history, offering a glimpse into the daily routines and experiences of children in care during the 1930s. It also highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of those who worked in children's homes, who went above and beyond to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the children in their care.
