EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Barnet Industrial School in Hertfordshire during the early 1900s. The image shows a group of young boys, dressed in simple clothing, working together to load hay onto a wagon using pitchforks. The scene exudes a sense of community and camaraderie as the boys work in unison to complete the task at hand. The Barnet Industrial School was established to provide care and support for children in need, offering a refuge for those who were abandoned, orphaned, or unable to live with their families. The boys in the photograph appear focused and determined, demonstrating the importance of hard work and self-reliance that was instilled in them as part of their education and rehabilitation. The hay harvest was an essential part of the agricultural calendar, and the boys' involvement in this seasonal activity not only provided practical skills but also contributed to the self-sufficiency of the school. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the children at the Barnet Industrial School, highlighting the importance of social services and the care they provided during a time when the welfare state was still in its infancy. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past and the evolution of children's homes and care services. It also emphasizes the value of community and the importance of coming together to support and care for those in need, a message that remains relevant today.
