EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the exterior of Manchester's Mr. Birch's Orphan Homes in Hulme, also known as the Cornbrook Orphanage, during the 1880s. The image offers a glimpse into the past of this historic children's home that was founded in the 1860s by William Birch. At the time, the Orphanage was a vital institution for providing care, welfare, and social accommodation to children in need. The photograph shows the impressive red-brick building with its large windows, tall chimneys, and well-tended gardens. The children's home was located in a quiet and picturesque area, surrounded by lush greenery and a serene pond. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and safety, making it an ideal environment for the young residents. William Birch, the founder of the Orphanage, was a philanthropist and social reformer who dedicated his life to the welfare of Manchester's most vulnerable children. He established the home to provide a loving and nurturing environment for orphans and destitute children, offering them a chance at a better future. The Orphanage became a beacon of hope and compassion, providing essential care and support to hundreds of children over the years. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the important role that charitable institutions played in Manchester's history, particularly in caring for its most vulnerable citizens. Today, the legacy of Mr. Birch's Orphan Homes continues to inspire and inform the work of modern-day children's charities and welfare organizations.
