EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of boys from St. Benet's Home, located at 11 Kidmore End Road in Emmer Green, Caversham near Reading, Berkshire. The Waifs and Strays Society, a charitable organization dedicated to the care and protection of children in need, opened the home in 1905. The boys in the photograph, dressed in their Sunday best, appear to be of various ages and backgrounds, reflecting the diverse range of children who found refuge and support at St. Benet's. The home provided a safe and nurturing environment for these boys, many of whom had been orphaned, abandoned, or otherwise disadvantaged. The 1920s was a period of significant growth and development for St. Benet's Home, as well as for the Waifs and Strays Society as a whole. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the important work that was carried out by the Society and the homes like St. Benet's, which played a crucial role in shaping the lives of countless children during a time of great need.
