EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Talbot Manor Home for Boys in Bournemouth, which was established in 1890 by the Waifs and Strays Society (now known as The Children's Society). The image, taken around 1921, shows a group of boys hard at work in the Home's garden. The Waifs and Strays Society was founded to provide care and support for children who were abandoned, neglected, or in need of a safe and stable environment. At Talbot Manor, these boys were given a chance to learn valuable skills and contribute to the community through gardening, farming, and other practical activities. The garden was not only a source of food for the Home but also a place where the boys could learn responsibility, teamwork, and the joy of nurturing living things. The serene and sunlit scene portrayed in this photograph belies the challenges and hardships these boys faced in their daily lives. Yet, it is a testament to the transformative power of care and compassion, and the enduring impact of the social services provided by organizations like The Children's Society.
