EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the idyllic setting of the Kings Norton Union Cottage Homes at Shenley Fields in Worcester, established in the late 1880s. The image showcases the beautiful rockery garden that once adorned the grounds of this historic site, which was created to provide a sanctuary for pauper children, keeping them away from the harsh conditions of the workhouse. The Kings Norton Union, a local authority responsible for providing poor relief, oversaw the construction of ten cottage homes, each housing 20-30 children. These cottages were designed to offer a more humane and nurturing environment for the children, who would otherwise have been institutionalized in the workhouse. The photograph reveals the picturesque rockery garden, which served as a source of joy and inspiration for the children. The garden's intricate design, with its winding paths, colorful flowers, and carefully placed stones, reflects the meticulous care and attention given to the wellbeing of the children. The cottage homes at Shenley Fields also featured a school, hospital, swimming bath, and workshops, ensuring that the children received a well-rounded education and were provided with essential medical care, recreational activities, and vocational training. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the Kings Norton Union Cottage Homes and the vital role they played in the lives of pauper children during the Victorian era. The image also underscores the importance of community support and the efforts made to improve the living conditions and overall wellbeing of those in need.
