EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the exterior of the Boys Industrial Home in Walsham-le-Willows, Suffolk, circa 1910. Established in 1896, this institution was designed to house and train boys who had come into conflict with the law. The image presents a scene of daily life at the home, with some of the inmates engaged in maintaining the grounds. They are seen mowing the lush lawn or standing by a wheelbarrow, likely preparing to transport soil or other materials. The red-brick building, with its tall chimney and large windows, looms in the background, a reminder of the disciplinary and rehabilitative nature of the institution. The serene setting, however, contrasts with the potential hardships and challenges faced by the boys within its walls. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era of institutional care for delinquent youth, a time when the focus was on providing a structured environment for their education and rehabilitation.
