1. Title: Bradstock Lockett Hospital Home, Southport: A Haven for Crippled Children in Early 20th Century England 2.. This evocative photograph captures the Bradstock Lockett Hospital Home in Southport, Lancashire, circa 1921. Established by the Waifs and Strays Society in 1902, this institution, often referred to as the Home for Crippled Children, was a beacon of hope for children with disabilities during a time when care and support were limited. Located at St Annes Road, Marshside, in the seaside town of Southport, the Bradstock Lockett Hospital Home provided a nurturing environment for children who were abandoned, orphaned, or suffering from various physical disabilities. The Waifs and Strays Society, a leading British charity, aimed to rescue and care for children in need, and the opening of this hospital home was a significant step towards addressing the lack of adequate facilities for disabled children. The photograph reveals a serene scene of children playing and interacting in the hospital grounds. The lush greenery, well-tended gardens, and the warm, inviting atmosphere of the hospital home are evident, offering a stark contrast to the challenging circumstances faced by these children outside its walls. The children, dressed in simple yet comfortable clothing, appear to be enjoying their time, engaged in various activities, and seemingly free from the hardships that may have defined their early lives. The Bradstock Lockett Hospital Home stands as a testament to the compassionate efforts of the Waifs and Strays Society and the dedicated staff who worked tirelessly to ensure that these children received the care, love, and opportunities they deserved. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of disability care in England, highlighting the transformative power of compassion and community.
