Description: | A photograph of four little children playing with cut grass in a field and waving for the camera, taken by James Jarch� (1891-1965) for the Daily Herald newspaper on 11 July, 1932. These smiling children are playing at the Children's House, Bow, in London's East End. The house was a pioneering creche and nursery for the poor children of the area. It was opened in 1923 by the author H G Wells (1866-1946). The Children's House was run by the sisters Muriel (1883-1968) and Doris Lester (1886-1965). The sisters were committed Christians who campaigned for world peace - and did much good work to help the poor of the East End. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | gelatin silver print photograph | Temporal: | 11/07/1932 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Jarch�, James (1890-1965) | Identifier: | 1983-5236/A07846 | Go to resource |
