EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of joy and innocence at the Sailors Orphan Homes in Hull, also known as Newland Homes, circa 1907. Established in 1895 by The Port of Hull Society, these homes provided care and shelter for children who had been left orphaned or abandoned as a result of their fathers' seafaring professions. The image shows a group of children at play in the homes' lush grounds, their laughter and energy filling the air. The Port of Hull Society, recognizing the unique challenges faced by these children, sought to provide them with a stable and supportive environment, offering not only a place to live but also opportunities for education and social development. The Sailors Orphan Homes stood as a testament to the compassionate spirit of the community, providing a vital safety net for those in need. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the important role that charitable organizations and community support have played in the lives of vulnerable children throughout history.
