EDITORS COMMENTS
A serene and picturesque view of St. Christopher's Orphanage at Ascot Priory, Berkshire, circa 1905. This image offers a glimpse into the past of this historic children's home, which provided care and shelter to hundreds of children in need. Nestled amidst the lush greenery and beautiful landscapes of Ascot Priory, St. Christopher's Orphanage was a beacon of hope and support for children who had been abandoned, orphaned, or left destitute. The orphanage was run by the Church of England and relied on the generosity of donors and benefactors to provide for the children's basic needs. The photograph captures the grandeur and tranquility of the orphanage's exterior, with its red-brick buildings, tall chimneys, and manicured gardens. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, can be seen playing and laughing in the foreground, adding a touch of warmth and joy to the scene. St. Christopher's Orphanage was more than just a place of shelter; it was a home where children were given the opportunity to grow and thrive. They received education, training, and the essential skills they needed to build a better future for themselves. The orphanage also provided a sense of community and belonging, as the children lived and learned together under the care of dedicated staff and volunteers. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the important role that children's homes and social housing have played in providing care and support for vulnerable children throughout history. It also serves as a testament to the resilience and strength of the children who called St. Christopher's Orphanage their home.
