EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life at St. Mary's Industrial School for Roman Catholic Boys in Bishopbriggs, Glasgow, during the early 1900s. The image shows a group of young boys intently focused on their work in the shoemaking workshop. Dressed in simple uniforms and wearing leather aprons, they are engaged in various tasks, from cutting and stitching leather to shaping and polishing the finished shoes. Established in the late 19th century, St. Mary's Industrial School was a Roman Catholic institution designed to provide care and education for orphaned, abandoned, or neglected boys. The school offered a range of vocational training programs, including shoemaking, to equip the boys with practical skills that would help them secure employment and become self-sufficient upon leaving the institution. The shoemaking workshop was a vital part of the school's industrial training program, where boys learned the art of shoemaking from skilled craftsmen. The boys' dedication and focus on their work are evident in this photograph, as they hone their skills and contribute to the production of quality footwear. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the lives of the boys who lived and studied at St. Mary's Industrial School during the early 1900s. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of education, care, and vocational training in shaping the lives of young people, particularly those who were in need of a supportive and nurturing environment.
