EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at St. Michael's Girls Home in Shipton under Wychwood, Oxfordshire, circa 1926. Run by the Waifs and Strays Society, this home provided care and housing for girls in need, offering them a safe and nurturing environment during the 1920s. The image shows a group of young girls and women, some holding hands, gathered around a table in the home's garden. They are dressed in simple, practical clothing, reflecting the modest resources available during this era. Among them is a young girl, her curious gaze fixed on a playful cat that has joined them in their outdoor gathering. The serene expression on the face of St. Michael, the patron saint of the home, gazes down from a wall-mounted plaque, watching over the girls with a protective and caring gaze. The girls' faces, filled with a mix of joy, innocence, and perhaps a hint of melancholy, tell the stories of their individual journeys. The garden, with its vibrant flowers and lush greenery, offers a sense of tranquility and hope. The girls seem to be enjoying a moment of respite, a brief pause in their daily lives, as they engage in simple pleasures and form bonds with one another. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the important work carried out by institutions like St. Michael's Girls Home during the 1920s. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the girls who lived there and the caring staff who provided them with a safe and nurturing environment. The enduring image of St. Michael watching over them serves as a symbol of the love, compassion, and hope that defined their time at the home.
