Boys Making Shoes at the Anerley Residential School for Elder Deaf Boys, Penge, 1908

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time at the Anerley Residential School for Elder Deaf Boys in Penge, London. The image showcases a group of young boys diligently working in the Shoemakers Shop, their hands skillfully crafting shoes that would soon grace the feet of others. The scene is filled with an air of industry as pieces of leather lie scattered on the floor in the foreground. The boys can be seen wearing aprons, fully immersed in their craft. Despite their hearing impairments and disabilities, these determined individuals showcase their abilities through this noble profession. The architectural features of the workshop provide a glimpse into early 20th-century England. The ceiling hangs low above them while a solitary lamp illuminates their workspace. In this humble environment, these students are not only learning valuable skills but also finding empowerment through education. It is important to note that this photograph sheds light on an issue prevalent during that era – child labor. However, it also highlights how institutions like Anerley Residential School provided opportunities for children with disabilities to gain practical skills and contribute meaningfully to society. As we admire this remarkable image from our past, let us remember those who overcame challenges and found purpose amidst adversity. May it serve as a reminder of both progress made and work yet to be done towards inclusivity and equal opportunities for all individuals regardless of ability or disability.
