EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Galloway Home in Whalley Range, Manchester, circa 1925. The children, dressed in their best clothes, stand proudly in front of the imposing red-brick building located at 34 Upper Chorlton Road. The Galloway Home, a charitable institution, was established in 1875 by the dedicated Miss Galloway, who ran it single-handedly for an impressive 35 years. Her tireless efforts provided a safe haven for children in need, offering them a place to call home. After Miss Galloway's retirement in 1910, the Waifs and Strays Society took over the management of the home. The Society, which aimed to protect and care for destitute, abandoned, and neglected children, continued the legacy of the Galloway Home. The children in the photograph, with their hopeful expressions and neatly combed hair, embody the spirit of the home and the promise of a better future. The Galloway Home, with its rich history, stands as a testament to the compassion and commitment of those who dedicated their lives to helping children in need. The red-brick building, now a listed structure, remains an important part of the Whalley Range community, serving as a reminder of the past and the enduring power of care and compassion.
