1. Title: A Haven of Care and Comfort: Provincial Police Orphanage, Redhill - Dormitory, Surrey, 1920s This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the serene atmosphere of the Provincial Police Orphanage in Redhill, Surrey, during the 1920s. The image showcases the dormitory, where young orphans found a temporary home filled with care and companionship. The room is adorned with simple yet functional furnishings, including neatly arranged beds and lockers, providing each child with a sense of personal space. The Provincial Police Orphanage was established to provide shelter, education, and social welfare to children who had been abandoned, orphaned, or otherwise in need. The institution was run by the Provincial Police Force, which took on the responsibility of caring for these vulnerable children alongside their law enforcement duties. The orphanage was a testament to the compassionate side of the police force, demonstrating their commitment to the welfare of the community's most vulnerable members. The children in the dormitory appear to be engaged in quiet activities, likely preparing for bed or studying, as the evening draws to a close. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of these young residents, who, despite their challenging circumstances, were surrounded by a supportive and nurturing environment. The presence of the Provincial Police Orphanage in Redhill serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of community care and the role that institutions like this played in shaping the lives of countless children throughout history.
