1. Title: A Haven of Care and Compassion: The Pickering Garth Waifs and Strays Home, Hull, 1880s This evocative photograph captures a heartwarming moment in the history of the Pickering Garth Waifs and Strays Home in Hull, an orphanage that provided refuge and care for hundreds of children in need during the late 19th century. The image features a group of children, dressed in their best clothes, gathered outside the home with their dedicated staff members. The Pickering Garth Waifs and Strays Home was established in Hull, England, in the 1870s to provide shelter, education, and social welfare to orphaned, abandoned, and destitute children. The institution was founded by a group of philanthropists and community leaders who recognized the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment for these vulnerable children. The children in the photograph appear to be engaged in a lively and joyful moment, their faces filled with curiosity and excitement. The staff members, dressed in their professional attire, watch over them with loving care and concern. The scene outside the orphanage suggests a sense of community and support, as the children are surrounded by lush greenery and the comforting presence of their caregivers. The Pickering Garth Waifs and Strays Home played a crucial role in the lives of countless children in Hull during the late 1800s and early 1900s. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the compassionate and selfless efforts of the institution's staff and supporters, who dedicated their lives to providing a brighter future for the children in their care. The Pickering Garth Waifs and Strays Home is an essential part of Hull's rich social history, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the lives of the children and staff who made this institution a beacon of hope and love during a time of great need.
