EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure for a group of children from the National Children's Home (NCH) branch at Edgworth, as they embark on a new journey towards a better future in Canada. Dated 1899, this poignant image shows the children, many of whom were orphans or wards of the care home, gathered together with their belongings, ready to board the train that would take them across the Atlantic Ocean. The National Children's Home was a leading British charity dedicated to the care and welfare of children in need, providing a safe and supportive environment for those who had been orphaned, abandoned, or otherwise unable to live with their families. The organization's Canadian branch, based in Edgworth, Lancashire, was established to facilitate the emigration of children to Canada, where they could be given the opportunity to build a new life. The children in this photograph are seen here in their best clothes, some holding toys or other small possessions, while others cling to their caregivers or each other. Their expressions range from excited anticipation to apprehension, reflecting the mix of emotions that would have been felt by these young travellers as they left behind all that was familiar to them. The Canadian emigration parties, organized by the National Children's Home, were an important part of the charity's work, providing a lifeline for thousands of vulnerable children over several decades. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the vital role that such organizations continue to play in the lives of children and young people today.
