EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the National Children's Home in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, during the early 1910s. The image shows a group of young girls, clad in simple aprons, diligently ironing and folding piles of fresh laundry. The laundry room, filled with baskets and piles of linen, serves as a backdrop to this scene of industry and hard work. During this era, the National Children's Home, also known as the Harpenden Training Home, was a charity that provided housing and care for orphaned and destitute children. The girls in the photograph were likely residents of the home, receiving training in essential life skills such as laundry work, cooking, and sewing to prepare them for a future of self-sufficiency and independence. The Edwardian-era conditions at the home were challenging, with long hours and demanding work expected of the children. However, the laundry room provided a sense of community and camaraderie, as the girls worked together to complete their tasks. The ironing and folding of the clean washing not only ensured that the home was kept tidy but also instilled a sense of pride and accomplishment in the girls. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of children living in poverty during the early 20th century and the important role that charities like the National Children's Home played in providing care and education to those in need. The girls in the photograph, dressed in their simple aprons and focused on their work, embody the resilience and determination of a generation that faced adversity with grace and fortitude.
