1. Title: A Culinary Lesson in Nurturing Boys: Feltham Industrial School Cookery Class, Circa 1905 This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Feltham Industrial School in Middlesex, circa 1905. The image presents a heartwarming scene of young boys, clad in neat uniforms, gathered around a cooker in the school's kitchen. Their faces are focused, their expressions serious as they engage in a cookery class, an essential part of their daily routine. The Feltham Industrial School, established in 1854, was a home for children in need of care and guidance. It was one of many institutions that provided welfare services for children who were orphaned, neglected, or otherwise unable to live with their families. The school aimed to educate and rehabilitate these children, equipping them with essential life skills to help them become self-sufficient adults. The cookery class was an integral part of the school's curriculum, teaching boys the art of cooking and the importance of nutrition. The boys learned various cooking techniques, from preparing simple meals to baking bread and pastries. These skills not only provided them with practical knowledge but also instilled a sense of pride and accomplishment. The kitchen, with its traditional cast-iron cookers and wooden worktops, serves as a testament to the dedication of the school's staff in providing a nurturing environment for these boys. The cookery class not only helped the boys learn valuable life skills but also offered a space for them to socialize and build camaraderie. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of care and education in shaping the lives of children, particularly those who have faced adversity. The boys in this image may have come from challenging backgrounds, but through the support and guidance of the Feltham Industrial School, they were given the tools to build a better future for themselves.
