EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Hull Sailors Orphan Homes Boys Band in circa 1907. Established in 1895 by The Port of Hull Society, the Sailors Orphan Homes, also known as Newland Homes, provided care and support for children who had been left destitute due to the death, disability, or desertion of a seafaring parent. The boys in the photograph, dressed in sailor suits, proudly hold their musical instruments as they pose for the camera. The formation of the band was an essential part of the homes' social and educational programs, offering the boys a sense of camaraderie, discipline, and a creative outlet. The wind band allowed the boys to learn an instrument, practice regularly, and perform at various events, providing them with a source of pride and accomplishment. The photograph offers a glimpse into the history of these important institutions, which played a significant role in the care and well-being of thousands of children in Hull during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
