EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a moment of joy and tranquility at the Lord Mayor Treloar Cripples Home in Alton, Hampshire, during the early 1900s. The scene unfolds in the picturesque Queen Alexandra Wood, where a group of physically disabled children, some with crutches and one in a wheelchair, are seen picking flowers. Their faces radiate happiness as they engage in this simple yet delightful activity, surrounded by the beauty of nature. The Lord Mayor Treloar Cripples Home was established in 1891 to provide care and support for children with disabilities. This children's home, which later became known as Treloar School and College, was a pioneering institution that aimed to provide a nurturing environment and opportunities for education and social interaction. The children in this photograph appear to be enjoying a break from their daily routines, reveling in the simple pleasure of picking flowers in the woodland. This photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the past, showcasing the resilience and joy of these children despite their physical challenges. It also highlights the importance of care and support for children with disabilities, a cause that remains relevant to this day. The historical image is a testament to the progress made in the care and wellbeing of disabled children and young people, and serves as a reminder of the importance of continuing to advocate for their rights and opportunities.
