EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Wick House Nursery in Brislington, Bristol during the 1920s. The nursery was opened in 1925 by the Waifs and Strays Society, a charitable organization dedicated to providing care and support for children in need. The house was generously donated by Mr. and Mrs. Walter James, who saw the value in providing a loving and nurturing environment for these children. The Waifs and Strays Society was founded in 1881 and had a long history of providing care for children who were orphaned, abandoned, or otherwise in need. The Brislington nursery was just one of many homes they operated across the United Kingdom. The society's mission was to provide a safe and stable home environment, as well as education and training, to help these children grow into self-sufficient and productive members of society. The children at Wick House Nursery were cared for by a dedicated team of houseparents and staff, who worked tirelessly to ensure their physical, emotional, and educational needs were met. The house itself was filled with warmth and love, providing a sense of security and stability that many of these children had never known before. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of community support and the transformative power of a loving home environment. It serves as a reminder of the vital role that charitable organizations like the Waifs and Strays Society played in the lives of countless children, and the lasting impact they had on their futures.
