Ealing Eric Lane Motherless Orphan Orphanage Orphans Welfare Childrens Mattock
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the essence of care and compassion at the Home for Motherless Children, Eric House, located on Mattock Lane in Ealing. Established in the early 20th century, this orphanage provided a loving and nurturing environment for children who had been abandoned or left motherless. The image shows a group of children, dressed in their best clothes, gathered around a table for what appears to be a meal or a lesson. Their expressions are filled with curiosity and concentration, reflecting the importance of education and the opportunities being afforded to them. The Home for Motherless Children was a vital part of the social welfare system in London during a time when the needs of children were often overlooked. Eric House offered these children a sense of family and security, providing them with the essentials of life, including food, clothing, and shelter. It was a place where they could grow up in a safe and supportive environment, away from the hardships and dangers of the streets. The history of Eric House is a testament to the power of community and the generosity of those who cared for these children. The orphanage was funded through the donations of local residents and businesses, as well as the dedication of its staff and volunteers. The children were given the opportunity to learn new skills, receive an education, and build a foundation for a better future. This photograph is a reminder of the importance of providing care and support to children in need. It is a poignant reminder of the past, and a call to action for us to continue to support the welfare of children, both here and around the world.
