EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Newport Market Refuge and Industrial School, located on Market Street in the vibrant and bustling area of Soho, London, circa 1865. The Newport Market Refuge and Industrial School was an essential institution in the heart of the city, providing care and shelter for children and young people who were in need of a safe and nurturing environment. At the time, the School was still in its early stages of development and would later evolve into a renowned training establishment for military bandsmen. The School's commitment to providing valuable skills and opportunities for its students was unwavering, and the transition to a military focus reflected the growing importance of music in the British military. The School's original location on Market Street was eventually outgrown, and it moved to Coburg Row in Westminster in the late 19th century. The move allowed the School to expand its operations and accommodate more students, continuing its vital work in providing care and support to young people in need. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the historic significance of the Newport Market Refuge and Industrial School in the social and cultural history of London. The children in the image, clad in their uniforms and engaged in various activities, are a testament to the School's enduring legacy and its commitment to the welfare and development of its students.
