EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Leicester Union Cottage Homes in Countesthorpe, Leicestershire, England, circa 1919. The image shows three small inmates, dressed in simple clothing, standing in front of a towering water tower. The Leicester Union Cottage Homes were established in 1884 as an alternative to the workhouse system, providing housing for pauper children who were separated from their families due to poverty. The Victorian-era architecture of the cottage homes is evident in the buildings behind the children, with their red-brick facades and slate roofs. The water tower, a prominent feature of the complex, supplied water to the homes and was essential for the daily needs of the residents. The law of the time, which required the separation of pauper children from their families, is a stark reminder of the historical context of this photograph. The children, who were likely orphaned, abandoned, or whose families were unable to support them, lived in these homes until they reached adulthood or were able to be reunited with their families. The 1880s and 1910s were a period of significant social change in Britain, with the welfare state beginning to take shape. The Leicester Union Cottage Homes, like many similar institutions, played a crucial role in providing care and support for vulnerable children during this transitional period. Today, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the Leicester Union Cottage Homes and the lives of the children who lived there. The image invites us to reflect on the past and consider the ongoing importance of providing care and support for children in need.
