EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at Darenth Schools, a residential institution for imbecile children located near Dartford, Kent. Established in 1878 by the Metropolitan Asylums Board, the Schools provided care and welfare for children from London who were deemed to be intellectually disabled. In this image, we see a group of children intently focused on their work, skillfully weaving baskets. The Schools offered various forms of vocational training to help the children develop practical skills and gain a sense of accomplishment. Basket-making was just one of the many trades taught at Darenth Schools, providing the children with an opportunity to contribute to their community and learn valuable life skills. The image, dated circa 1900, offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of these children, who were away from their families and receiving care in a loving and nurturing environment.
