Alongside Babies Clapton Older Orphan Orphanage Orphans Pram Push Salvation Walk Welfare Childrens
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of daily life at The Nest, a Salvation Army home for children in Clapton, East London, during the early 20th century. Two women, each pushing a pram laden with two babies, make their way down the street, while older children walk alongside them. The Salvation Army, an international Christian organization founded in 1865, has a long history of providing welfare and social services, including education and care for orphans and vulnerable children. The Nest, established in the late 1800s, was one such institution that offered a safe and nurturing environment for these young ones. The image portrays the sense of community and support that was provided within the home's walls. The older children, dressed in matching outfits, seem to be taking turns pushing the prams, likely helping their mothers with the care of the younger siblings. The scene exudes a sense of unity and togetherness, as the women and children embark on a simple yet meaningful journey - going for a walk. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the important role that organizations like The Salvation Army have played in the lives of countless children throughout history.
