EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts The North Surrey Industrial Schools, situated at Annerley in south London, around the year 1850. The building, designed by the architect, Mr. Charles Lee, of Golden-square, London, was established to provide proper accommodation for 600 children. The North Surrey Industrial Schools were unique in their commitment to being strictly industrial, with no pauper officers or servants allowed on the premises. The establishment consisted of three large school and classrooms, along with apartments for school mistresses, school and trade masters. The boys were instructed in various trades, farming, and gardening, while the girls were taught dairy work. The buildings were designed with advanced features such as being heated throughout by hot water and thoroughly ventilated by flues and shafts. The boys', girls', and infants' departments were kept distinct, and all servants in the house were women to allow the girls to learn essential skills in baking, cooking, and housework. Located near Annerley station of the Croydon Railway in Surrey, this establishment aimed to provide a nurturing and productive environment for children in need. The North Surrey Industrial Schools represented a significant step forward in the education and care of children during this era, with a focus on practical skills and self-sufficiency. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the history of education and childcare in the 19th century.
