1. Title: "A Haven of Care and Compassion: Bisley Farm School No. 2, Surrey (circa 1888)" In this evocative photograph, we step back in time to Bisley Farm School No. 2, located in the picturesque county of Surrey, England. Established in 1873, this second main building was an essential addition to the premises, later to be known as the Shaftesbury School. The image, captured circa 1888, offers a glimpse into the daily life of this charitable institution, dedicated to the care and welfare of children in need. The children, clad in their simple yet neat uniforms, are seen engaging in various activities within the spacious grounds of the school. The building's red-brick facade, adorned with ivy, stands proudly against the backdrop of lush greenery, reflecting the commitment to creating a nurturing and homely environment for its residents. Bisley Farm School was a pioneering institution in the realm of children's care services. Founded to provide a safe haven for orphans and children in need of a loving home, it offered essential services such as education, shelter, and emotional support. The school's ethos was rooted in the belief that every child deserved a chance to grow, learn, and thrive, regardless of their circumstances. The Shaftesbury School was just one of the many buildings that made up Bisley Farm School, which continued to evolve and expand over the years to accommodate the growing number of children in need of care. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role that institutions like Bisley Farm School played in shaping the lives of countless children, offering them a sense of security, stability, and hope for a brighter future.
