EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts four young inmates of Wigmore Schools, located on Pennyhill Lane in the West Midlands, during the early 20th century. The image features two boys in band uniforms, each holding a trumpet or cornet, and two girls dressed in smocks and straw hats, as they sit and stand, posing for the camera. The Walsall and West Bromwich District School, also known as Wigmore Schools, was established in 1870 to accommodate workhouse children from the two unions in the area. The boys' band uniforms suggest that they may have received musical education as part of their schooling. The girls, dressed in Victorian and Edwardian-era costumes, hold dolls, possibly as part of their domestic training. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of these young inmates, providing a historical record of their experiences in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The image is reminiscent of the 1870s and 1880s, a time when children from poor backgrounds were often institutionalized and received little formal education. The photograph is a testament to the importance of education and music in the lives of these young people, despite their challenging circumstances. The image is not to be used for commercial purposes and is protected by copyright.
