EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Harraby Hill House Band, Carlisle: A Musical Escape for Children Away from the Workhouse" This evocative photograph captures the Harraby Hill House Band, a group of lively boys residing at Harraby Hill House in Carlisle. Established by the Carlisle Poor Law Union, this home was created to provide a sanctuary for children, keeping them away from the cold and harsh conditions of the local workhouse. The building, formerly known as St Cuthbert's Parish Workhouse, underwent a transformation into a more nurturing environment. The boys in the photograph, dressed in their Sunday best, proudly display their musical instruments. The band, a testament to the rehabilitative efforts of the Poor Law Union, provided an essential outlet for the children's creativity and self-expression. Music, a universal language, brought joy and unity to the boys, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie. The setting, Harraby Hill House, stands majestically in the background. With its grand architecture and sprawling grounds, the house offered a stark contrast to the grim reality of the workhouse. The children, away from the deplorable living conditions, were given an opportunity to thrive and grow, both emotionally and intellectually. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the transformative power of music and the importance of creating safe spaces for children in need. The Harraby Hill House Band, a beacon of hope during a time of hardship, continues to inspire us with its enduring spirit.
