Aston Union Cottages, Erdington, Birmingham: A Historical Haven for Pauper Children in the Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries This aerial photograph captures the picturesque Aston Union Cottages in Erdington, Birmingham, as they stood in the early 1930s. Established in 1899, these idyllic cottages were built as an extension to the main workhouse located adjacent to the site, providing a sanctuary for pauper children away from the harsh workhouse conditions. The Aston Union Cottages were a significant development in the history of child welfare, housing over 300 children in individual cottages, each with its own garden and fireplace. The homes were designed to offer a more homely and nurturing environment for the children, providing them with a sense of security and stability. The complex included various facilities to cater to the children's needs. A school ensured they received a proper education, while an infirmary provided medical care when required. A chapel offered spiritual guidance, and a swimming bath allowed the children to enjoy recreational activities. Additionally, workshops were set up to provide vocational training and prepare them for a future livelihood. The surrounding fields and countryside added to the rural charm of the cottages, offering a tranquil setting for the children to grow and thrive. The Aston Union Cottages represent a crucial period in the history of child welfare, providing an alternative to the traditional workhouse system and paving the way for more humane and compassionate care for the less fortunate. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the Aston Union Cottages and the vital role they played in the lives of pauper children during the late 1890s and early 1900s.
