EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of joy and respite for some of the girls residing at John Grooms Orphanage and Crippleage in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex during the late Victorian or Edwardian era. The orphanage, founded in 1890 by John Grooms, a London engraver and evangelical preacher, was established to provide shelter and care for the poor, disabled, and orphaned children who were often overlooked and marginalized in society. Grooms' concern for the plight of flower sellers and the deprived children led him to set up a charity that, in 1907, became known as John Grooms Crippleage and Flower Girls Mission. The mission aimed to provide a home and a sense of community for those in need, offering a refuge from the harsh realities of poverty and disability. The girls in the photograph appear to be engaged in a playful activity, their laughter and happiness a testament to the positive impact of the orphanage on their lives. The image transports us back to a time when the needs of the most vulnerable members of society were not always met by the state, and charitable organizations like John Grooms Orphanage and Crippleage played a vital role in providing essential care and support. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the compassion and generosity of individuals like John Grooms, who dedicated their lives to improving the lives of those less fortunate. The history of this remarkable institution, which began over a century ago, continues to inspire and inform our understanding of the importance of social welfare and the role of community in addressing the challenges of poverty and disability.
