EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late 19th century and discover the charming Main Avenue at Chorlton Union Cottage Homes, Styal, Cheshire. This idyllic scene captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing a picturesque village-like setting that was once home to pauper children removed from the harsh conditions of the workhouse.
In 1898, the Chorlton Union opened these cottage homes as a haven for vulnerable young souls, providing them with a safe and nurturing environment. The site's transformation into Styal Prison in later years only adds to its rich history.
The photograph dates back to 1907, offering a glimpse into life during Edwardian times. Note the beautifully manicured gardens and well-maintained cottages lining the main avenue, evoking feelings of serenity and tranquility. A gardener tends to his plot in front of one of the charming dwellings, adding warmth and humanity to this otherwise formal setting.
This image is not only a testament to architectural design but also serves as a poignant reminder of society's efforts to address poverty and homelessness during this period. Take a moment to appreciate this piece of history and imagine life through the eyes of those who once called this enchanting place home.
