EDITORS COMMENTS
Nurses Home, Accrington, Lancashire 1910" is a captivating photograph that offers a glimpse into the past of Accrington, Lancashire's rich nursing history. This image, taken a century ago, depicts the Nurses Home, a significant establishment that played a pivotal role in the education and training of nurses during the early 20th century. The photograph shows a charming, red-brick building with ivy creeping up its walls, exuding an air of tranquility and warmth. The image is filled with a sense of history and tradition, as nurses in their white uniforms and caps can be seen sitting on the steps, chatting and laughing with each other. The scene is set against the backdrop of the beautiful, lush greenery of the surrounding garden, adding to the idyllic atmosphere. The Nurses Home was established in Accrington as part of the Co-operative movement, which had a profound impact on the town from the mid-19th century onwards. The Co-operative Society, which was founded in 1860, aimed to improve the living conditions and economic prospects of its members through collective ownership and mutual support. The establishment of the Nurses Home was a testament to the Society's commitment to providing quality healthcare and education to its community. The nurses in the photograph were likely students at the nearby Accrington Infirmary, which was also run by the Co-operative Society. The Nurses Home provided them with a comfortable and supportive environment in which to live and study, allowing them to focus on their training and prepare for their future careers in nursing. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the important role that the Co-operative movement played in the history of Accrington and the development of its healthcare system. It also serves as a tribute to the dedicated nurses who trained there, and the enduring legacy of their commitment to caring for their community.
