EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of childhood joy and innocence at the Sailors Orphan Homes in Hull, also known as Newland Homes, around the year 1907. Established in 1895 by The Port of Hull Society, this children's home provided care and support for orphans of sailors and fishermen who had lost their lives at sea. The image shows a group of children playing happily on the lush green grass, surrounded by various toys, including a rocking horse and a tea set. Their laughter and playful antics are a testament to the nurturing and caring environment that the Sailors Orphan Homes provided. The Port of Hull Society, founded in 1849, aimed to support the families of seafarers and fishermen in times of need. The establishment of the Sailors Orphan Homes was a significant step towards providing long-term care and support for children who had been left destitute by the death of their parents. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a valuable insight into the social history of Hull and the lives of its children during this period. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of community support and care for vulnerable children and youth, a legacy that continues to be relevant in today's society.
