EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the exterior of the Orphan Working School on Haverstock Hill in Hampstead, London, as it appeared in 1861. The Orphan Working School was an institution established to provide education and shelter for orphaned and destitute children in Britain. At the time, this photograph was taken, the school was home to over 200 boys and girls, who were separated according to gender and lived in dormitories. The children were taught various trades and skills, including sewing, shoemaking, and carpentry, with the aim of preparing them for employment and independence once they left the school. The girls were also taught domestic skills such as cooking and cleaning. The boys and girls attended separate classrooms, with the boys' classroom visible in this photograph. Despite the harsh living conditions and long working hours, the Orphan Working School provided a vital service to the community, offering a lifeline to children who would otherwise have been left to fend for themselves on the streets. The school's motto, "To teach them a trade, give them food and clothing, and to bring them up in the fear and admonition of the Lord," reflects the Christian values that underpinned the institution's mission. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by orphaned and destitute children in Victorian Britain and the crucial role that institutions like the Orphan Working School played in their lives.
