EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the interior of the Ormerod Children's Convalescent Home in St Annes on Sea, Lancashire, during the early 1900s. The image shows a group of young girls standing in front of the altar, their faces filled with a mix of curiosity, reverence, and perhaps a touch of apprehension. The Ormerod Home was established to provide care and respite for sick and disadvantaged children, offering them a chance to recover in a nurturing and supportive environment. The chapel, with its ornate decorations and stained glass windows, would have been a familiar and comforting sight for the children, providing them with a sense of spiritual solace and community. The girls' simple dresses and the modest decor of the chapel reflect the modest means and values of the time, while the serious expression on their faces underscores the gravity of their situation. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the history of children's homes and the important role they played in caring for vulnerable young people.
