EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative price list, produced at the Waifs and Strays Society's St Chad's Home in Leeds in 1898, offers a glimpse into the world of a late-Victorian children's home. The Waifs and Strays Society was a leading British charity dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. The list, which focuses on socks and stockings, reveals the meticulous attention to detail and care that went into providing essential items for the children in their charge. Prices range from one penny for a pair of cotton socks to six shillings and sixpence for a pair of woolen stockings, reflecting the varying quality and materials used. The Waifs and Strays Society's St Chad's Home was just one of many institutions run by the organization, which aimed to offer a safe and nurturing environment for children in need. The home provided education, training, and emotional support, with the ultimate goal of helping children find permanent homes or, if they were able, to reintegrate them into society. This price list serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role that charities like the Waifs and Strays Society played in providing essential care and services to vulnerable children during a time when state welfare systems were still in their infancy. The meticulously handwritten list also offers a glimpse into the daily realities of running a charitable institution and the importance of community support in ensuring the wellbeing of children in need.
