EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Girls Friendly Society Home of Rest in Malvern Wells, Worcestershire, circa 1924. The image shows a group of young girls and women, dressed in their best Sunday attire, gathered outside the Home with several staff members. The Girls Friendly Society was an organization that provided care and support for girls and young women in need, and the Home of Rest in Malvern Wells was one of its residential facilities. The girls in the photograph appear to be of various ages, with some holding flowers or posing shyly for the camera. Their expressions suggest a sense of joy and excitement, perhaps in anticipation of an outing or special event. The women and staff members, many of whom are also holding flowers, look on with warm smiles and proud expressions. The backdrop of the photograph is the beautiful and picturesque Malvern Hills, adding to the idyllic scene. The Girls Friendly Society Home of Rest was located in a rural area, surrounded by natural beauty, which likely provided a peaceful and nurturing environment for the residents. The Girls Friendly Society was founded in 1874 and played a significant role in the history of children's homes and youth social housing in the UK. The organization provided a safe and supportive environment for girls and young women who were orphaned, abandoned, or in need of care and guidance. The Home of Rest at Malvern Wells was just one of many such facilities operated by the Society, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the girls and staff who lived and worked there over 90 years ago.
