EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Tennal Approved School in Birmingham during the 1940s. The Tennal Approved School, formerly known as Harborne School, was a children's home and care institution that provided welfare services to orphans and other vulnerable children. In this image, we see a group of boys tending to their Angora rabbits, a common agricultural pursuit during that era. The boys, dressed in simple yet practical clothing, are deeply engrossed in their farming activities, their faces reflecting a sense of focus and determination. The rabbits, with their soft, fluffy coats, seem to be a source of joy and companionship for the children. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and community, as the boys work together to care for their animals. This photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of the Tennal Approved School, a place where children received care, support, and opportunities to learn valuable skills. The farming of Angora rabbits not only provided an essential source of income for the institution but also offered the boys a sense of purpose and accomplishment, fostering their personal growth and development.
