Moss Bank Industrial School for Boys, Millerston, Glasgow (1908): A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the Moss Bank Industrial School for Boys in Millerston, Glasgow, as it appeared in 1908. The view showcases the imposing red-brick building, its grandeur and austere appearance a testament to the institutional ethos of the time. The name 'Industrial School' reflects the educational philosophy of the era, which emphasized the importance of practical skills and discipline in shaping the lives of young boys. The image reveals a panoramic view of the school's grounds, with the lush, green mossy bank providing a striking contrast to the industrial setting. The boys, dressed in uniform, can be seen engaged in various activities, including woodworking and metalworking, as they learn valuable skills that would serve them well in their future endeavors. The presence of the boys, along with the smoke rising from the chimneys, underscores the dual role of the Industrial School – a place of education and reformation. The Moss Bank Industrial School, which opened in 1861, was one of many institutions established during the Victorian era to address the social issues of the time. It provided shelter, education, and training for boys who were orphaned, neglected, or in need of discipline. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of these institutions and the impact they had on the lives of countless young boys. This image, taken in 1908, offers a unique window into the past, inviting us to reflect on the transformative power of education and the resilience of the human spirit.
