EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily routine of the printing workshop at St. Aldhelms Home in Frome, Somerset, during the 1920s. Located on Oakfield Road, the print works were linked to the nearby Sunnyside Boys Home and played a crucial role in the Waifs and Strays Society's mission to provide education, care, and support for children in need. The men in this image are deeply focused on their tasks, each one meticulously handling the intricacies of the printing process. The room is filled with the hum of machinery and the scent of ink, creating an atmosphere of industry and productivity. The walls are adorned with posters and charts, reminding the workers of their important role in the larger mission of the Waifs and Strays Society. The print works produced a vast array of literature, including newsletters, reports, and promotional materials, which were distributed to supporters and potential donors. These communications helped to raise awareness and funds for the Society, enabling it to continue its vital work. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily lives of the men who worked tirelessly to support the children in their care. It is a poignant reminder of the important role that community and collaboration played in providing for the most vulnerable members of society during a time of great need.
