EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the front entrance of the East Harling branch of the National Institutions for Persons Requiring Care and Control (NIPRCC), located in Norfolk, England, in 1914. The image depicts a kind-faced woman in a nursing uniform standing at the entrance, welcoming visitors or perhaps overseeing the arrival of new residents. The building, once known as the Guiltcross Union workhouse, had a long and complex history. In 1904, it was transformed into the Eastern Counties Inebriates Reformatory, run by the Reverend Harold Burden. Later, in 1913, it became the NIPRCC, an organization established to house and care for feeble-minded children. The building's imposing facade, with its tall, arched entrance and intricate stonework, speaks to a time when charitable institutions were a vital safety net for those in poverty and need. The woman in the photograph, likely the matron of the institution, embodies the philanthropic spirit that drove individuals like the Reverend Burden to provide care and support for those who were often shunned by society. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the important role that charities and organizations like the NIPRCC have played in providing care and shelter for those in need throughout history.
