1. Title: A Glance into the Past: Moss Bank Industrial School for Boys, Millerston, Glasgow Moss Bank Industrial School for Boys, located in Millerston, Glasgow, offers a glimpse into the history of children's social welfare and care in Scotland. The exact date of this photograph is unknown, but it presents an intriguing view into the daily life of a place that once provided accommodation and support for hundreds of boys in need. The image showcases the imposing red-brick building, which stands proudly amidst lush greenery. The school's name, "Moss Bank Industrial School," is etched onto a stone plaque at the entrance, a testament to its industrial-era origins. The boys' home was established to provide shelter, education, and training to children who were orphaned, neglected, or otherwise in need of care and guidance. The photograph reveals the school's expansive grounds, which include a large playing field, a garden, and various outbuildings. Boys can be seen playing and engaging in various activities, illustrating the importance of recreation and play in their lives. The image also hints at the school's self-sufficient nature, with evidence of agriculture and industry, such as the greenhouses and workshops. Moss Bank Industrial School was part of a larger movement in Scotland and the United Kingdom to establish institutions for the care and education of children in need. These schools aimed to provide a safe and nurturing environment, where children could learn essential skills and grow into responsible, productive members of society. Although the photograph does not reveal the specific conditions or experiences of the boys who lived there, it offers a valuable window into the past, reminding us of the important role that institutions like Moss Bank played in shaping the lives of countless children.
