EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of tranquility and care at the Nursery of the Children's Home in Ashley Down, Bristol, during the early 20th century. The image shows a line of young children, dressed in nightgowns and night clothes, sitting on their beds in a dormitory-style room. The room is sparsely furnished, with simple wooden beds and a few toys scattered about. In the foreground, a kind-faced nurse stands, holding a baby in her arms, while another nurse checks on a sleeping child. The Children's Home in Ashley Down was established by German-born evangelist George Müller in 1836. Müller believed that children in need should be raised in loving, family-like environments rather than in workhouses or institutions. Over the years, he founded a network of homes that provided shelter, education, and spiritual guidance to thousands of orphaned and destitute children in Bristol and beyond. Despite the poverty and hardships of the time, this photograph conveys a sense of warmth and security. The children, tired from the day's activities, are nestled in their beds, ready for a good night's rest. The nurses, dedicated to their care, ensure that each child is settled and comfortable before the night's end. This poignant scene offers a glimpse into the history of children's welfare in Bristol and the compassionate work of George Müller and his colleagues.
