History Today has chosen as one of its "articles of the year" this horrifying account by Sarah Wise of the forced emigration of pauper children from London to Canada.
HT has made it accessible to non-subscribers, at least for now: https://www.historytoday.com/archive/feature/charity-begins-home #victodon #histodon #Victorian
@patrickleary Thanks for sharing! It seems the Macpherson Distributing Home in Stratford, pictured in the article, is still there: https://www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/place-lieu.aspx?id=16301
