1899 Area Attending Bethnal Bonner Carehome Cripples Disabled Facilities Parlour Provided Childrens
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Cripples Parlour of the National Children's Home (NCH) in Bethnal Green, London, in 1899. The National Children's Home, located on Bonner Road, was a pioneering institution dedicated to providing care and support for disabled children in the area. In this image, we see a group of children, some in wheelchairs and others with various physical disabilities, gathered together in the Cripples Parlour. The room is filled with a sense of warmth and companionship, as the children engage in activities designed to stimulate their minds and bodies. The National Children's Home was established in 1887, and its Cripples Parlour was one of the first facilities of its kind in the UK. It provided essential daytime care and education for disabled children who were unable to attend mainstream schools. The Home's dedicated staff worked tirelessly to ensure that these children received the care and attention they needed to thrive, both physically and emotionally. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these children, who were often isolated and overlooked in society at the time. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of inclusion and the role that organizations like the National Children's Home played in advancing the cause of disability rights. The children in the photograph appear engaged and content, illustrating the positive impact that the Home had on their lives. This image is a testament to the resilience and determination of these children and the compassionate care they received at the National Children's Home in Bethnal Green.
