Pauper Workhouse Workhouses


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the imposing facade of the LCC Industrial School for Girls, Gordon House, located in Isleworth, Middlesex, England. Established in the late 19th century by the London County Council (LCC), the Industrial School was designed to provide a home and education for pauper girls, many of whom had been separated from their families due to poverty or neglect. The girls, often as young as five years old, were expected to live and work within the confines of the institution, learning skills such as sewing, cooking, and domestic service in an attempt to prepare them for a life of self-sufficiency upon leaving. The regimented routine of the Industrial School was intended to instill discipline and good behavior, with strict rules governing every aspect of the girls' lives. Despite the best intentions of the LCC, conditions within the Industrial School were far from ideal. Overcrowding, inadequate funding, and a lack of resources meant that many girls endured harsh living conditions, with reports of physical and emotional abuse not uncommon. This photograph, taken in the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the stark reality of life for pauper girls in the care of the LCC Industrial School system. The imposing gates and high walls serve as a reminder of the isolation and separation these girls experienced, while the barren landscape surrounding the building speaks to the harsh and unforgiving environment they called home. Today, the site of the LCC Industrial School for Girls, Gordon House, stands empty, a testament to the past and the many girls who once called it home. The building, now listed as a Grade II listed structure, has been converted into luxury apartments, a stark contrast to its former use as a place of last resort for those in need.
