EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Haven of Care and Education: The Westmorland Society School at West Norwood, Surrey, circa 1913" The Westmorland Society School, located in West Norwood, Surrey, was established in 1854 as a charitable institution to house and educate children born in or near London whose parents hailed from Westmorland, a county in the north of England. This photograph, taken circa 1913, offers a glimpse into the daily life of this children's home and school. The image captures the grandeur and tranquility of the Westmorland Society School, with its well-manicured gardens and red-brick buildings. The children, dressed in their school uniforms, can be seen playing and engaging in various activities, both indoors and outdoors. The school provided not only education but also care and welfare services for these children, who may have been orphans or otherwise in need of a stable home environment. The Westmorland Society School was part of a larger social movement in the 19th century to address the needs of children who were separated from their families due to various circumstances. The school's founders recognized the importance of providing these children with a sense of community and belonging, as well as a solid educational foundation. The school's commitment to its mission can be seen in the dedication of its staff and the joy and contentment evident on the faces of the children. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role that institutions like the Westmorland Society School played in providing care and education for children in need during a time when such services were not widely available. The image also underscores the importance of community support and the power of compassionate institutions to make a lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable children.
