EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the quiet and unassuming facade of St. Michaels Orphanage in Croydon, Woodside, a place of care and refuge for children in need during a bygone era. The date of this image is unknown, but it likely dates back several decades, as the orphanage operated from the late 1800s until the mid-1900s. The children's home, run by the Sisters of Mercy, provided a vital social service for the community, offering care and support to orphans, abandoned children, and those in need of a safe and nurturing environment. The Sisters dedicated their lives to providing the best possible care for their young charges, offering them a sense of stability, love, and belonging. The photograph shows the simple, red-brick building with its large windows, which would have provided ample natural light for the children inside. The peaceful surroundings, with trees and greenery visible in the background, would have offered a sense of tranquility and respite from the hustle and bustle of urban life. St. Michaels Orphanage was just one of many such institutions that played a crucial role in providing care and support for vulnerable children throughout history. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the important work that these organizations have done and continue to do, offering a glimpse into the past and the enduring spirit of care and compassion that drives them.
