1. Title: "Carpentry Education: Boys Honing Their Skills at St Pancras Schools, Leavesden, Hertfordshire, 1893" In this evocative photograph, a group of young boys diligently work on their carpentry projects at the St Pancras Schools in Leavesden, Hertfordshire. Established in 1893 by the St Pancras Board of Guardians, these schools were designed to provide education and shelter for pauper children, keeping them away from the harsh conditions of the workhouse. The boys in the image focus intently on their tasks, using a board and plane to shape and smooth pieces of wood. The carpentry workshop was just one of the many facilities available at the schools, which also included classrooms, dormitories, a laundry, an infirmary, and even a swimming bath. The St Pancras Schools were a significant endeavor to improve the lives of underprivileged children in the community. The Board of Guardians recognized the importance of providing a well-rounded education and essential life skills to help these children break the cycle of poverty. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the students, showcasing their dedication and focus as they learn a valuable trade. The carpentry workshop not only provided an opportunity for practical learning but also fostered a sense of pride and accomplishment among the boys. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the historical efforts to provide education and opportunities for disadvantaged children, ensuring a brighter future for generations to come.
