Barnardos Best Causeway Equipped Hospitals Orphan Orphanage Orphans Purpose Stepney Welfare Childrens
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the facade of Barnardos Home, located at Stepney Causeway in East London, circa 1906. The building, known as Her Majesty's Hospital, was a purpose-built orphanage and children's hospital established by the philanthropic organization, Barnardos. In its day, Her Majesty's Hospital was renowned for being one of the best-equipped children's hospitals in London. The image shows a group of children, dressed in their Sunday best, gathered outside the grand entrance of the institution. Their expressions convey a sense of anticipation and excitement, perhaps for an outing or a special occasion. The children, some holding hands, are surrounded by the imposing red-brick walls of the hospital, which exude a sense of safety and care. Barnardos was founded in 1867 by Dr. Thomas Barnardo, a pioneering figure in child welfare and education. The organization's mission was to provide shelter, care, and education for orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. Her Majesty's Hospital was just one of many institutions established by Barnardos to meet the needs of vulnerable children in London and beyond. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a valuable insight into the history of children's welfare and the important role that organizations like Barnardos continue to play in supporting the most vulnerable members of society.
