Two children and a bath at Horwood House (59 Newland Street). They were was at a children’s home run by Miss Hunt on Montessori lines for disadvantaged children from London.  The photo is one of two facing page 106 in the book ‘The Unrelated Family’, which was written by A Vera G Wright. She helped at the home from June 1918 for a time. Her book does not give names to either the home or the town, but ERO T/P 133/26 names them. Miss Hunt is mentioned in directories for 1922 and 1926. The book is scarce, and I gave my copy to the Essex Record Office in 2006.  The caption for this photo is ‘Georgie (age 4) bathing Marjorie (aged 2)’. She has changed the names.
