Bristol Hung Mullers Orphan Orphanage Orphans Outing Swings Welfare Childrens
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, depicts a group of girls from Muller's New Orphan Houses in Bristol enjoying an outing at Purdown. The girls are seen playing on tree-hung swings, their laughter and joy echoing through the lush greenery. Muller's New Orphan Houses were established in the 1850s as a response to the growing number of orphans and destitute children in the city. The institution provided shelter, care, education, and social welfare to these children, offering them a chance at a better future. The outing to Purdown was likely an essential part of the children's routine, providing them with much-needed recreation and fresh air. The tree swings, suspended from the sturdy branches of a large tree, offer a sense of freedom and fun. The girls' simple yet beautiful dresses and their beaming smiles add to the charm of the scene. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the history of children's welfare in Bristol and the importance of providing care and support to those in need. It also highlights the joy and innocence of childhood, even in the face of adversity. The image invites us to reflect on the past and the progress made in children's care and education, while also reminding us of the ongoing need to ensure that all children have access to a safe and nurturing environment.
