EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the exterior of the new asylum for girls under the age of twelve, situated in the picturesque village of Beddington near Croydon, Surrey, in the year 1866. The asylum, which was established with the intention of providing care and education to young female orphans, was a sanctuary where these vulnerable children could learn essential skills that would prepare them for a promising future as good housewives and useful members of society. The girls residing in the asylum were taught a range of practical skills, including reading, knitting, and sewing. These abilities were not only considered essential for a woman in the 1860s but also served as a means to ensure their self-sufficiency and independence. In addition to these skills, the girls were also given the opportunity to work in the kitchen, where they could learn the art of cooking and food preparation. The exterior of the asylum exudes a sense of tranquility and order, with its well-maintained gardens and neatly arranged buildings. The girls, who are likely to be seen playing outside or engaged in their daily activities, are a testament to the nurturing and supportive environment that the asylum provided. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a valuable insight into the lives of young orphaned girls during the Victorian era. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of education and care in shaping the lives of children, particularly those who are most in need of support and guidance.
