EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1930s, we see the Matron of Mount Hermon Home for Girls, located in Hastings, Sussex, surrounded by a group of young girls. The home, which was run by the Ladies Association for the Care of Friendless Girls at the time, provided a safe and nurturing environment for girls who were without family or other means of support. The Matron, dressed in a traditional black dress and white apron, stands in the center of the group, her expression radiating warmth and compassion. The girls, all dressed in simple, practical clothing, look up at her with a mix of curiosity and affection. Mount Hermon Home for Girls was a place of refuge and hope for these young girls, offering them the opportunity to receive an education, learn valuable skills, and grow into confident and capable young women. By the 1930s, the home had been taken over by the Children's Aid Society, which continued to provide essential services to the girls in its care. The photograph captures a moment of connection and community, as the Matron and girls gather together in the home's cozy living room. The fireplace crackles with warmth, and the windows let in the natural light, creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. Mount Hermon Home for Girls was just one of many institutions established to provide care and support for vulnerable children in the UK during the 19th and 20th centuries. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the important role that such organizations continue to play in the lives of children and young people today.
