EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque National Children's Home at Edgworth, Lancashire, nestled amidst the rolling moors. The National Children's Home, also known as the Children's Home on the Moors, is a historic institution that has provided a safe and nurturing environment for thousands of children in need since its founding. The scene presents a serene and idyllic setting, with the red-brick buildings of the Home contrasting beautifully against the lush green landscape and the vast, expansive moors in the background. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, can be seen playing and laughing in the foreground, their joy and happiness evident. The National Children's Home was established in 1854, and its mission was to provide a home and education for orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. Over the years, it has grown and evolved, but its commitment to helping children in need has remained steadfast. The Home's unique location on the moors, surrounded by nature, has long been a source of inspiration and healing for the children who have called it home. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the important work that the National Children's Home has done and continues to do, providing a sanctuary and a sense of belonging for children who have faced adversity and hardship. The beauty of the scene belies the challenges that the children have faced, and the joy and laughter they are experiencing in this moment is a testament to the power of love, care, and community.
