EDITORS COMMENTS
Bridgend Cottage Homes, Glamorgan: A Haven for Pauper Children (circa 1913) This evocative photograph captures the Bridgend Cottage Homes, located on Merthyr Mawr Road in the south of Bridgend, Glamorgan. Established in 1879, these cottages were built as an alternative to the workhouse, providing a more humane living environment for pauper children. The cottages were arranged around a central green, creating a sense of community and providing each group of approximately ten boys or girls with a dedicated living space, along with a house-parent to care for their needs. The cottages offered a respite from the harsh conditions of the workhouse, providing a more nurturing and supportive environment for the children. The Bridgend Cottage Homes were a significant step forward in the welfare of the most vulnerable members of society during this era. The cottages provided a sense of stability and normalcy, allowing the children to grow up in a more caring and supportive environment, away from the stigma and hardships associated with the workhouse system. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the history of child welfare in Wales and the important role that institutions like the Bridgend Cottage Homes played in shaping the lives of countless children. The image of the green, with its neatly arranged cottages, stands as a testament to the compassion and care that was extended to these children, offering them a chance at a better future.
