EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the interior of the dinning-hall at the Female Orphan Asylum in Beddington, Surrey, in the year 1875. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the young girls residing at the orphanage during the 1870s. The long, rectangular room is filled with rows of simple wooden tables and benches, arranged to accommodate the numerous girls who would gather here to eat their meals. The girls, dressed in their uniforms, sit attentively, their eyes fixed on their plates, as they partake in their communal meal. The atmosphere is one of order and discipline, reflecting the Victorian era's approach to childcare and education. The large fireplace at the far end of the room suggests that the space was also used for warmth during the colder months. The photograph offers a poignant reminder of the lives of orphaned girls during this period, and the importance of communal meals in providing a sense of belonging and stability in their lives.
