EDITORS COMMENTS
In this aerial view, Dr Barnardo's Village Home for Girls at Barkingside in Essex is depicted in all its glory. The image, taken from a bird's eye perspective, showcases the idyllic layout of this innovative residential establishment for young girls. Established on the cottage homes principle, the home is designed to provide a nurturing and family-like environment for its residents. The photograph reveals a large, lush central green area, surrounded by houses where the girls live in family groups. This thoughtful design allows the girls to experience a sense of belonging and community, while also providing them with the privacy and security of a home. The houses are arranged in a circular pattern around the green, creating an inviting and inclusive atmosphere. Dr Barnardo's Village Home for Girls at Barkingside holds a significant place in history as one of the earliest examples of the cottage homes principle in the UK. This approach to residential care was pioneered by Thomas Barnardo, a philanthropist and social reformer, who dedicated his life to improving the lives of vulnerable children. The success of this model inspired the establishment of numerous similar homes across the country and beyond. This aerial view offers a unique and fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of Dr Barnardo's Village Home for Girls and the impact it had on the lives of countless young girls. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of community, care, and compassion in the lives of children and young people.
