EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1887, captures the exterior of Stockwell Orphanage, a charitable institution founded by the revered British preacher and social reformer, Charles Spurgeon. Located on Clapham Road in London, the orphanage was established in 1869, off Stockwell Park Road, and provided a home for hundreds of orphaned and destitute children. Spurgeon, a man of deep compassion, was driven by his faith to alleviate the suffering of the city's most vulnerable population. The image shows the imposing yet welcoming building, with its red-brick facade, tall chimneys, and large windows. Boys in their Sunday best can be seen playing outside, their laughter and joyful energy a stark contrast to the hardships they had endured. The orphanage, which was surrounded by lush gardens, offered these children a sense of security and stability, providing them with education, food, and clothing. Sadly, the orphanage was not immune to the devastation of World War II. During the conflict, it was bombed, leaving the building in ruins. Today, the site is part of the Stockwell Park Estate, a reminder of the vital role that Stockwell Orphanage played in the lives of countless children over the years. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the past, and the enduring power of compassion and care in the face of adversity.
