Barham Brabazon Craft Dressed Inmates Items Norfolk Organiser Rear Scheme Smartly Uniformed Workhouse Claydon Made
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of uniformed inmates of the Bosmere and Claydon Workhouse in Barham, Norfolk, circa 1907. The inmates, both men and women, are smartly dressed in their work uniforms, each holding handmade craft items. The center rear of the image features a local organiser for the Brabazon scheme, a charitable initiative that allowed workhouse inmates to create and sell their handcrafted items to the public. The Brabazon scheme was an essential source of income for the workhouse, providing the inmates with a sense of purpose and dignity. The scheme was named after the Earl of Brabazon, who had established it to help alleviate poverty and provide employment opportunities for those in need. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the workhouse inmates during this period. Despite the challenging circumstances, the inmates are seen working together, creating beautiful and intricate crafts that would eventually find their way into the homes of people in the local community and beyond. The smartly dressed woman, serving as the local organiser for the Brabazon scheme, stands out in the image, her presence a testament to the compassionate efforts of the community to help those less fortunate. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of people in difficult times, and the power of community support in uplifting those in need.
