EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of joy and innocence at the Hull Sailors Orphanage, also known as Newland Homes, in the early 1900s. The image depicts a group of boys in naval uniforms, engaged in play and laughter, as a gardener diligently mows the lush green grass in the background. Established in 1895, the Sailors Children's Society, a charity based in Hull, Yorkshire, founded the Homes to provide housing and religious instruction for the children of sailors who were in need or had passed away at sea. The uniforms worn by the boys are a testament to their connection to the navy, reflecting the seafaring heritage of the city and the region. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing insights into the living conditions and experiences of children growing up in poverty during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The Homes, a development of cottage homes, were designed to offer a sense of community and family to the orphaned children, providing them with a stable and supportive environment. The gardener, in his work clothes, adds a sense of routine and order to the scene, highlighting the importance of hard work and maintenance in the daily life of the Homes. The image is reminiscent of a simpler time, when the focus was on the well-being and education of children, rather than commercial gain. This photograph, taken in 1904, is a poignant reminder of the history and heritage of Hull and the Sailors Children's Society, which continues to provide vital support to children and families in need today. The image is available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a unique and insightful addition to any collection of historical photographs or memorabilia.
