Muller's New Orphan Houses, Bristol: Children Enjoy a Picnic Tea on Purdown This evocative photograph captures a moment of joy and respite for the children residing at Muller's New Orphan Houses in Bristol during the late 19th or early 20th century. The image, taken on Purdown, a hill overlooking the city, shows a group of children seated on a blanket, enjoying a tea party. Their expressions are filled with delight and contentment as they sip their tea and engage in playful banter. Muller's New Orphan Houses were established in 1856, providing care and shelter for orphaned and destitute children in the Bristol area. The institution was renowned for its progressive approach to child welfare, offering education and training to its residents, preparing them for a better future. The children were encouraged to enjoy outdoor activities, such as this picnic on Purdown, as part of their holistic development. The historical significance of this photograph lies in the depiction of a moment of happiness and normalcy for children who, due to unfortunate circumstances, were away from their families. It serves as a reminder of the importance of community support and the role of institutions like Muller's New Orphan Houses in providing care and nurturing the next generation. The children in the photograph, dressed in their Sunday best, appear carefree and content, their smiles reflecting the joy of a simple pleasure - a picnic tea on a sunny day. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the resilience and spirit of children, even in the face of adversity.
