EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a 100-pound Christmas pudding takes center stage in the kitchen of the East Harling branch of the National Institutions for Persons Requiring Care and Control (NIPRCC) in Norfolk. The image, taken in 1914, captures the charitable spirit of the holiday season at this privately run organization, which was originally the Guiltcross Union workhouse and later became the Eastern Counties Inebriates Reformatory, both of which were managed by the Reverend Harold Burden. The kitchen, filled with the warm glow of gas lights, is adorned with festive decorations, including holly wreaths and red and green tablecloths. A cook in a white apron and cap stands at the large range, stirring a pot with a long wooden spoon, while a nurse in a starched uniform and cap looks on. The atmosphere is one of community and care, as the staff of the institution prepare a special meal for the residents. The National Institutions for Persons Requiring Care and Control was an organization dedicated to housing and caring for those deemed feeble-minded or in need of control, including children and adults. The East Harling branch, located at Kenninghall, was one of several such institutions run by the Reverend Burden. The site's history is a testament to the philanthropic efforts of the time, as well as the challenges faced by those living in poverty and requiring care and support. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of a charitable institution during the early 20th century. The large Christmas pudding, a symbol of generosity and goodwill, serves as a reminder of the importance of community and care during the holiday season and beyond.
