EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Fylde Union Cottage Homes in Kirkham, Lancashire, built between 1913 and 1914. These homes were established to provide shelter and care for children who had been left homeless or orphaned during a time of great poverty and hardship in the early 20th century. The image shows a row of quaint, red-brick cottages arranged in a picturesque semicircle, nestled at the end of a tree-lined lane. The homes were situated on the site of the former Fylde Union workhouse, which had been replaced by a larger building in Wesham. The architectural design of the cottage homes reflects the contemporary belief in the restorative power of the countryside and fresh air for children in need. Each cottage was self-contained, with its own kitchen, living room, and bedrooms, providing a sense of privacy and security for the residents. The homes were also surrounded by ample green space, allowing the children to play and explore in a safe and nurturing environment. The photograph, taken in the 1920s, offers a glimpse into a time when poverty and homelessness were widespread issues in Lancashire and across the United Kingdom. The Fylde Union Cottage Homes were an important part of the social welfare system, providing a vital safety net for vulnerable children during a period of great need. Sadly, the homes were demolished in the mid-20th century, leaving only memories and photographs as reminders of their existence. Today, this image serves as a poignant reminder of the past, highlighting the importance of providing safe and supportive housing for children in need.
