EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Sheffield Orphan Homes, formerly known as the Ragged School Orphanage, located on Lydgate Lane in Cookes. The institution was established in 1848 by Mrs Hoole, a compassionate individual who acquired a three-acre field in the village of Crookes for this noble cause. Two homes were constructed on this land to accommodate twenty children each, along with dedicated matrons to care for them. The photograph is an exact replica from an original image found in the Sheffield Orphan Homes Annual Report. It offers a glimpse into the history and evolution of this remarkable establishment that has provided shelter and support to countless orphaned children over the years. The image captures not only the physical structures but also symbolizes hope and resilience. It serves as a testament to Mrs Hoole's vision and dedication towards creating a safe haven for vulnerable youngsters who had lost their families. While we admire this historical gem preserved by Sheffield City Archives, it is important to note that commercial use of this picture is prohibited. Instead, let us appreciate its significance as a reminder of how communities can come together to uplift those most in need – providing love, education, and opportunities for brighter futures.
