1. Title: St. Katharine's Home for Girls, Southbourne: A Haven for Waifs and Strays in the 1920s This evocative photograph, taken in 1923, captures the St. Katharine's Home for Girls in Southbourne, Bournemouth, as it stood proudly along Church Road. Built specifically for the Home in 1920, this purpose-designed building replaced the previous cliff-top residence due to concerns over potential erosion. St. Katharine's Home for Girls was an essential institution in the community, providing a safe and nurturing environment for young girls who were considered waifs and strays. The Home offered these girls a chance to grow and thrive, away from the hardships and challenges they may have faced in their earlier lives. The architectural design of the building is both impressive and inviting, with its red-brick exterior and tall, arched windows. The building's grandeur reflects the importance placed on the care and wellbeing of the girls residing there. The girls are seen playing and enjoying the outdoors, which further emphasizes the idyllic and peaceful atmosphere of the Home. The lush green lawn, the trees, and the beautiful church in the background, all contribute to the serene and picturesque scene. The St. Katharine's Home for Girls played a significant role in the lives of many young girls in Bournemouth during the 1920s, offering them a fresh start and a chance to build a brighter future. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the essential work carried out by such institutions and the profound impact they can have on the lives of those they serve.
