EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the National Children's Home (NCH) at Edgworth, Lancashire, circa 1900. The Barlow Memorial House, named after its generous benefactor, stands proudly at the heart of this nurturing and supportive community. The image showcases a group of children, their faces filled with curiosity and joy, as they gather around what appears to be a reading lesson. The serene and picturesque surroundings of the orphanage, with its lush greenery and well-kept gardens, provide an idyllic backdrop to the children's daily lives. The National Children's Home was established in 1887 to provide care and education for orphaned, abandoned, and destitute children. The Home's founders believed that every child deserved a chance at a better future, and the institution quickly grew to become one of the largest and most respected children's charities in the United Kingdom. The Barlow Memorial House was built in 1900, thanks to the generous donation of Sir John Barlow, a prominent local businessman and philanthropist. The children in this photograph represent the countless lives that have been touched by the National Children's Home over the years. Their smiles and the sense of community they share serve as a testament to the transformative power of care, education, and support. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of the National Children's Home and the enduring legacy of its benefactors and caregivers.
