Orphan Orphanage Orphans Purley Reedham Surrey Welfare Childrens
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph offers a glimpse into the past of the Reedham Orphanage in Purley, Surrey, circa 1908. The image captures a group of children, dressed in their best clothes, gathered outside the orphanage, their expressions a mix of curiosity, excitement, and perhaps a hint of apprehension. The Reedham Orphanage, founded in 1866, was a place of care and welfare for children who had been orphaned, abandoned, or otherwise in need of a loving home. The institution provided education, food, clothing, and a sense of community for these children, many of whom had endured difficult circumstances. The children in this photograph appear to be on the cusp of a new adventure, perhaps a day outing or a special occasion. The orphanage, with its red-tiled roof and grand facade, looms in the background, a symbol of the safety and security these children found within its walls. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of care and support for children in need, and the enduring power of community and compassion.
