EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of play and camaraderie amongst the boys of the Derby Railway Servants Orphanage in circa 1910. Located in Derby, England, the Railway Servants Orphanage was a charitable institution established to provide care and support for the children of railway workers who were in need. The boys in the image are seen posing amongst the gymnasium equipment, their expressions filled with joy and excitement. The gymnasium was an essential part of the orphanage's welfare system, providing the children with opportunities for physical activity and exercise. The boys are dressed in their uniforms, a testament to the structured and regimented nature of life at the orphanage. The gymnasium equipment, including parallel bars, rings, and a trapeze, reflects the emphasis on physical development and health. The Railway Servants Orphanage was part of a larger social welfare system in Britain during this period, which aimed to provide care and support for those in need. The orphanage was run by the Railway Servants' Orphan Asylums Society, which was founded in 1846 to provide for the children of railway workers who had been killed or injured on the job. The society's mission was to ensure that these children received a good education and were given the opportunity to lead productive and fulfilling lives. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the boys at the Derby Railway Servants Orphanage, providing a poignant reminder of the importance of care and support for vulnerable children in our society.
