EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Sweet Escape: The General Store at Orphan Homes of Scotland, Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire, 1870s This evocative photograph captures the general store at the Orphan Homes of Scotland, Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire, in the late 1800s. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of this charitable institution, which was founded in 1878 by the successful shoemaker, William Quarrier, from Greenock. Quarrier developed a deep interest in the welfare of deprived street children and established the Orphan Homes as a village of cottage homes. The general store, with its well-stocked shelves, served as a vital part of the community within the Orphan Homes. Jars of sweets and other essentials are prominently displayed, hinting at the nurturing and caring environment that Quarrier aimed to create. The store provided not only the children but also the staff with necessary supplies, contributing to the overall functioning of the Orphan Homes. The store's layout, reminiscent of a Victorian village shop, exudes a sense of history and tradition. The counter, adorned with various items, is manned by an assistant, ready to serve the customers. The children, clad in their best attire, can be seen browsing the shelves, eagerly selecting their favorite treats. The Orphan Homes of Scotland, Bridge of Weir, was more than just a place of shelter for the orphans; it was a home, a community, and a training ground for the children to learn essential life skills. The general store played a significant role in this process, teaching them the value of work and trade. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the past, showcasing the importance of community, compassion, and the transformative power of a simple general store in the lives of the children at the Orphan Homes of Scotland.
