EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at a Scattered Home in Sheffield, England, operated by the local Poor Law Union in the early 20th century. The term "Scattered Homes" referred to institutions established to house groups of pauper children away from the workhouse, providing them with a less institutionalized living environment. The image shows a row of modest, red-brick cottages, each with a small garden and a few children playing outside. The homes were typically located in rural areas, surrounded by farmland or open countryside, and were intended to offer a more nurturing and less harsh existence for the children. Despite the seemingly idyllic setting, life in a Scattered Home was far from easy. Children were still subjected to strict rules and regulations, and were expected to work on the surrounding farms or in local industries to contribute to their own maintenance. The homes were funded by the Poor Law Union, which was responsible for the care and maintenance of the destitute and the infirm in the community. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these children, who were often separated from their families due to poverty or other hardships. It also highlights the efforts of the Poor Law Union to provide some semblance of a normal childhood for these children, even in the most challenging of circumstances. The image is a poignant reminder of the social and economic conditions that led to the establishment of Scattered Homes, and the ongoing struggle to provide adequate care and support for vulnerable members of society.
