EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at Quarriers Homes - Consumption Sanatoria of Scotland, located at the Bridge of Weir in Renfrewshire, circa 1900. The Consumption Sanatoria was linked to the Quarriers Orphan Homes of Scotland, providing essential care for children suffering from tuberculosis. The image shows a group of young children, dressed in warm clothing and gathered around a fireplace, creating a sense of warmth and comfort amidst the cold and harsh surroundings. The children appear to be engaged in an activity, possibly playing a game or listening to a story, showcasing the importance of social interaction and companionship in their care. The Consumption Sanatoria was established to provide specialized care for children affected by tuberculosis, a disease that was a significant health concern during this era. The sanatoria were run by the Quarriers, a Scottish charitable organization that had a long history of providing social care and welfare services to children and families in need. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, highlighting the dedication and compassion of the Quarriers in providing a safe and nurturing environment for these children during a time when tuberculosis was a major health challenge. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of social care and welfare services in ensuring the wellbeing and development of children, especially during times of adversity.
