EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Bridgwater Union Children's Home in Cannington, Somerset, an Edwardian-era cottage establishment founded in the early 1900s to provide housing for pauper children, separated from the harsh conditions of the local workhouse. The Bridgwater Union, a local authority responsible for the poor relief during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, recognized the importance of creating a more humane environment for these children. The image showcases the quaint, red-brick building with its white-painted wooden frames and slate roof, surrounded by lush greenery and a picturesque garden. The children's cottages, designed to resemble individual homes, were intended to create a sense of family and normality for the children. The windows of the cottages are adorned with flowers and curtains, adding to the homely atmosphere. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, are seen playing and enjoying the outdoors, a stark contrast to the hardships they would have faced in the workhouse. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of child welfare and the efforts made to improve the living conditions for the most vulnerable members of society during the 1910s. The Bridgwater Union Children's Home stands as a testament to the progress made in the treatment of pauper children during the 1900s, a period marked by significant social and legislative changes. This photograph is an essential piece of historical documentation, offering a poignant reminder of the past and the importance of providing a safe and nurturing environment for children in need.
