EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Sailors Orphan Homes in Hull, also known as Newland Homes, circa 1907. Established in 1895 by The Port of Hull Society, this children's home provided care and support for orphans and destitute children of seafaring men. In this image, we see a group of young girls diligently working in the homes laundry, ironing and folding clothes. Their focused expressions and the orderly rows of clothing suggest a sense of routine and discipline, essential for the smooth running of such an institution. The Sailors Orphan Homes played a vital role in the social and housing landscape of Hull, offering a safe and nurturing environment for children in need. This photograph provides a glimpse into the daily life of these homes and the important work carried out by those who ran them. The history of the Sailors Orphan Homes is an important part of Hull's rich maritime heritage and serves as a reminder of the vital role that community support plays in the lives of vulnerable children.
