EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily routine at the Model Bakery of the National Children's Home in Edgworth, Lancashire, circa late 19th or early 20th century. The image shows three men deeply engrossed in their work, with the older man expertly weighing and kneading dough, while the two younger men assist. The bakery, which was part of the National Children's Home, a charitable institution, provided training and employment opportunities for its residents, many of whom were orphans, paupers, or children in need. The scene is reminiscent of the Victorian workhouse ethos, where inmates were expected to work to contribute to the upkeep of the institution. However, unlike the harsh and demeaning conditions of the workhouses, the National Children's Home aimed to provide a more humane and nurturing environment. The bakery was one of the many workshops and industries that offered valuable skills and experience to the children, equipping them with the tools they needed to lead productive and independent lives. The photograph also reveals the bakery's impressive output, with rows of freshly baked loaves cooling on racks in the background. The ovens, which were fueled by coal, would have produced a constant supply of bread for the home's residents and staff. The Model Bakery was a vital part of the National Children's Home, providing not only sustenance but also a sense of accomplishment and pride for those who worked there.
