EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the daily life of the National Children's Home in Edgworth, Lancashire, during the late 1800s. The image shows a group of boys, dressed in simple clothing, working together to harvest hay in the fields. They carry pitchforks in their hands, ready to load the hay onto the horse-drawn wagon behind them. The home, founded in 1872 by Methodist minister Thomas Bowman Stephenson, was a charitable institution designed to provide housing, education, and care for disabled and impoverished children. During this time, the home was known as the "Children's Home on the Moor" and was located near Bolton. The boys in the photograph appear focused and determined as they work in the fields, a testament to the hard work and perseverance required to survive in such conditions. The horse-drawn wagon, fully loaded with hay, waits patiently for the boys to finish their work. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing insight into the historical context of the time and the living conditions of children in institutions during the Victorian era. The image also highlights the importance of agriculture and the role it played in the daily lives of those living in rural areas. The National Children's Home at Edgworth later became Crowthorn Special Needs Residential School, continuing its mission to provide care and education for children with disabilities. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the children who lived and worked at the home during the 1870s, and the vital role that charitable institutions played in providing support to those in need.
