EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Gracie Fields Home and Orphanage, nestled in the picturesque coastal town of Peacehaven, East Sussex. Established in 1933, the home was the brainchild of beloved British singing star, Gracie Fields. Gracie, who rose to fame in the 1920s and 1930s, recognized the need for a safe haven for children of parents in the theatrical profession who were often forced to leave their children behind while they toured or worked long hours. Gracie's generosity knew no bounds, and she not only opened the doors of the home but also provided financial support and made personal visits to ensure the children were well cared for. The home, which functioned as both an orphanage and a children's home, quickly became a vital resource for the community, offering a nurturing environment and a sense of stability for those in need. The children at the Gracie Fields Home and Orphanage were provided with food, clothing, education, and a loving family-like atmosphere. Gracie's dedication to their welfare was unwavering, and her legacy continues to inspire and uplift those who have been touched by the home's mission. This photograph, taken in the 1940s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the warmth and care that was a hallmark of the Gracie Fields Home and Orphanage. It serves as a poignant reminder of the power of compassion and the difference one person can make in the lives of countless others.
