EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Moment of Respite: Boys at Bradstock Lockett Hospital Home, Southport, 1920s" This evocative photograph captures a moment of stillness and tranquility within the walls of Bradstock Lockett Hospital Home and School of Recovery, located at St Annes Road, Marshside, Southport, Lancashire, in the 1920s. Established by the Waifs and Strays Society in 1902, this institution was dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of children who were orphaned, abandoned, or otherwise in need. In this image, we see several young patients, lying in their beds, gazing out the window or lost in thought. The hospital home provided a safe and nurturing environment for these children, who had often faced hardships and adversity in their young lives. The Waifs and Strays Society aimed to give them the opportunity to recover from their physical and emotional wounds, and to learn valuable skills that would help them reintegrate into society. The Bradstock Lockett Hospital Home was a crucial part of the social fabric of Southport, and its legacy continues to resonate with the community today. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the important work that was carried out within its walls, and the lives that were forever changed by the kindness and compassion of those who ran it. The Waifs and Strays Society, which was founded in 1881, was a leading children's charity in the UK, and its work extended beyond the Bradstock Lockett Hospital Home to include numerous other homes, schools, and institutions across the country. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, and sheds light on the vital role that charities and community organizations continue to play in supporting vulnerable children and young people.
