EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Pickering Girls Home in Hull, Yorkshire, circa 1921. Established in 1915 by the Waifs and Strays Society, this home was named in honor of its generous benefactor, Christopher Pickering. The Waifs and Strays Society was a charitable organization dedicated to providing shelter, education, and care for destitute, neglected, and orphaned children in the United Kingdom. The Pickering Girls Home was one of many institutions established by the Society to offer refuge and support to vulnerable young girls. The home's serene and picturesque surroundings, with its well-tended gardens and spacious buildings, provided a nurturing environment for the girls to grow and thrive. The photograph shows a group of young girls, dressed in their Sunday best, gathered in front of the home's impressive facade. Their smiling faces and bright eyes reflect the hope and happiness that the Pickering Girls Home brought to their lives. The home offered not only a safe place to live but also provided education, training, and opportunities for the girls to build a better future for themselves. The Waifs and Strays Society's work was instrumental in improving the lives of countless children in the early 20th century. The Pickering Girls Home in Hull stands as a testament to the Society's commitment to providing care and support to those in need. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the important role that charitable organizations continue to play in shaping the lives of vulnerable children and young people today.
