EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history at a century-old farmhouse in Ticehurst, Sussex. The image showcases the compassionate work of the Brotherhood of St. Francis of Assisi, who transformed this farmhouse into a refuge for young tramps during September 1933. In this snapshot from the 1930s, we witness young men between the ages of fourteen and twenty-three tending to pigs on the farm grounds. These individuals, often labeled as vagrants or homeless youths, were provided with more than just shelter by the Brotherhood. They were given a fresh change of clothing and received training to equip them with essential skills. The ultimate goal was to find employment opportunities for these young tramps before they resigned themselves to a life on the road as "knights of the road". This act of charity exemplifies how religion can be harnessed as an instrument for social welfare. The photograph not only highlights an important historical moment but also reflects upon themes such as homelessness, helplessness, and youth vulnerability. It serves as a reminder that even during challenging times like those faced in the 1930s, there were organizations dedicated to providing support and hope for those most in need. This evocative image is part of Memory Lane Prints' collection and offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on past efforts made towards addressing societal issues while inspiring compassion in our own time.
