EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Quarriers Orphan Homes of Scotland, specifically in the Joiners Shop at the Bridge of Weir site in Renfrewshire, circa 1920. The image showcases a group of young boys deeply engrossed in their work, each holding various carpentry tools with focused expressions on their faces. The boys are likely residents of the Quarriers Homes, an institution established to provide social care and welfare for children in need. The Joiners Shop was one of many workshops and facilities available on the Quarriers Homes site, where children were taught practical skills to prepare them for future employment and independence. The boys in the photograph appear to be learning the art of carpentry, a valuable trade during that era. The tools they are using, such as saws, hammers, and chisels, were essential for their craft. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life at the Quarriers Orphan Homes, where children were given opportunities to learn, grow, and develop essential skills. The image also highlights the importance of hands-on education and the positive impact it can have on the lives of young people. The Quarriers Homes, with its various workshops and facilities, played a significant role in shaping the futures of countless children in Scotland during the early 20th century.
