EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in the early 1900s, captures a moment of simple childhood joy amidst the harsh realities of poverty and homelessness in the rural village of Hawkhurst, Kent. The timber-framed Parish Workhouse, a historical building standing proudly on the Moor, serves as a stark reminder of the past, when the destitute and the homeless sought shelter and relief from the harsh conditions of the time. The children, dressed in tattered clothes, play carefree in the sunlit fields, oblivious to the hardships faced by their families. An older boy, carrying a gardening fork and other tools, may be returning from work or perhaps helping to maintain the grounds of the workhouse. In the background, the towering church tower stands as a beacon of hope and community, a symbol of the enduring spirit of the village. This poignant image, captured in 1908, offers a glimpse into the past, a time when the union workhouses provided the only refuge for the poor and the homeless, and the simple pleasures of childhood were cherished amidst the challenges of rural life.
