EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts North Surrey District School at Anerley, Upper Norwood, Surrey, taken in the late 19th or early 20th century. The school was established in 1850 as a response to the growing need for housing and education for pauper children, who were typically removed from their families and placed in workhouses. The North Surrey District School was unique in that it was run by various unions in north Surrey, including Lewisham, Wandsworth, and Clapham, with the aim of providing these children with a better environment and industrial training to prepare them for work in adult life. The Crystal Palace, a prominent landmark visible behind the school, adds an intriguing historical context to the image. The Crystal Palace, an iconic glass and iron structure, was originally built for the Great Exhibition of 1851 in Hyde Park, London, and was later relocated to Sydenham Hill in 1854. The children in this photograph are likely dressed in their school uniforms, with expressions of focus and determination on their faces. The school building itself is imposing and well-maintained, with large windows that allow ample natural light to enter. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the historical efforts to provide education and opportunities for children living in poverty during the Victorian era. The North Surrey District School at Anerley, Upper Norwood, represents an important chapter in the history of education and social welfare in Surrey, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these children and the community that supported them.
