EDITORS COMMENTS
A Triumph over Scarlet Fever: The Barnardos Girls' Village Home at Barkingside, Essex, 1914 Amidst the turmoil of the early 20th century, an outbreak of scarlet fever threatened the health and wellbeing of the children residing at the Barnardos Girls' Village Home in Barkingside, Essex. This photograph captures a poignant moment in the Home's history, as the residents and staff celebrated their success in limiting the spread of the contagious disease. The card, published by the Home, extols the virtues of the social welfare institution and its ability to provide a safe and nurturing environment for its young charges. The text reads, "Despite the recent outbreak of Scarlet Fever, not a single child has been infected, nor has any been compelled to leave the Home." This achievement was no small feat, as scarlet fever was a highly contagious disease that could spread rapidly in crowded living conditions. The children in the photograph, dressed in their Sunday best, smile brightly for the camera, their faces reflecting a sense of pride and accomplishment. The staff, too, look on with satisfaction, knowing that their diligent efforts to maintain a clean and hygienic environment had paid off. The image serves as a testament to the importance of social care and the resilience of the children and staff during a challenging time. The Barnardos Girls' Village Home at Barkingside provided essential accommodation and care for children in need, offering them a safe and supportive environment during times of hardship. This photograph is a reminder of the vital role that such institutions played in the social welfare system of the early 20th century, and the importance of community and care in times of adversity.
