EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of care and compassion at the Lyndhurst Home for Motherless Children, located on Uxbridge Road in Hanwell, circa 1910. The image shows a group of young children, dressed in their Sunday best, gathered around a table for a meal. Their expressions are filled with a sense of happiness and contentment, despite their unfortunate circumstances. The Lyndhurst Home was established to provide a safe and nurturing environment for orphaned and abandoned children in the London area. The home was run by the Church of England Waifs and Strays Society, which was dedicated to the care and protection of children in need. At the time, the welfare of children was a major concern in society, and charitable organizations like the Church of England Waifs and Strays Society played a crucial role in providing essential services to those who had been left without the care of their parents. The Lyndhurst Home offered a range of services, including education, medical care, and emotional support, to help these children grow into healthy and happy adults. Despite the challenges faced by the children in the home, the photograph shows that they were surrounded by love and care. The nurturing environment provided by the dedicated staff at the Lyndhurst Home allowed these children to thrive, giving them a sense of stability and security that they may not have had otherwise. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of care and compassion, particularly for those who have been left without the care of their families. It highlights the vital role that charitable organizations and caring individuals played in providing essential services to children in need during a time when the welfare state was still in its infancy.
