EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the past, showcasing Birmingham's Girls Hostel at Shaftesbury House on St Mary's Row circa 1918. The image transports us back in time to an era where children's welfare and care were of utmost importance, highlighting the efforts of societies dedicated to providing accommodation for those in need. The architecture of Shaftesbury House is striking, with its grand facade and intricate details that speak to a bygone era. The girls hostel served as a safe haven for young women, offering them shelter and support during a time when such resources were scarce. The children depicted in the photo exude innocence and resilience, their faces telling stories of hardship and hope. It is evident that this place was more than just a building - it was a home where these young souls found solace and companionship. As we reflect on this poignant snapshot from history, we are reminded of the importance of compassion and community in caring for those less fortunate. The legacy of places like Birmingham's Girls Hostel lives on through images like these, serving as a reminder that every child deserves love, care, and protection. Peter Higginbotham Collection has preserved this piece of history with grace and reverence, allowing us to connect with the past and honor the individuals who dedicated their lives to improving the welfare of others.
