1889 Cottage Derby Homes Housed Opened Pauper Workhouse 1925 Fazakerley
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Cottage Homes at Fazakerley, a site established by Liverpool's West Derby Union in 1889. The Union opened these homes as an alternative to the workhouse, providing a more humane living environment for approximately 650 pauper children. The image, taken in 1925, shows the quaint, red-brick cottages that housed these children, each with its own garden and front porch. The serene atmosphere of the scene contrasts sharply with the harsh realities of the workhouse system that preceded it. The Cottage Homes represented a significant step forward in child welfare, allowing children to grow up in a more nurturing and family-like environment. The Union's commitment to the wellbeing of its most vulnerable citizens is evident in the care and attention given to the design and layout of the homes. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of a time when social reforms began to prioritize the needs of children, providing them with a sense of belonging and a foundation for a brighter future.
