EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene atmosphere of Muller's New Orphan Houses in Ashley Down, Bristol, specifically the infant girls' dormitory. The date of this image is unknown, but it offers a glimpse into the past of this renowned children's home that provided shelter and care for hundreds of orphaned and destitute children. The dormitory is filled with cribs neatly arranged in rows, each one covered with a white sheet, creating a sense of uniformity and order. The girls, dressed in simple yet clean clothing, sleep peacefully, their faces barely visible under the blankets. The room is bathed in soft, natural light filtering through the windows, creating a warm and nurturing environment. Muller's New Orphan Houses, established in the late 19th century, were a significant part of the social welfare system in Bristol. They offered a safe haven for children who had been orphaned, abandoned, or left destitute. The homes were run by the Muller family and their dedicated staff, who provided the children with food, clothing, education, and a sense of belonging. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the important role that children's homes played in providing care and support to vulnerable children in the past. It also highlights the sense of community and compassion that was prevalent during that time, as people came together to ensure that every child had a safe and nurturing environment in which to grow and thrive.
