Title: A Haven for Boys: An Aerial View of Barnes Home, Heaton Mersey, Cheshire (1930s) This evocative aerial photograph captures the Barnes Home for Boys, an Industrial School situated on Didsbury Road in Heaton Mersey, Cheshire. Established in the 1930s, this remarkable institution was financed by the generous donations of Manchester cotton baron, Robert Barnes.

The industrial school model, which emphasized education, training, and discipline, aimed to prepare young boys for a productive future. Robert Barnes, a successful businessman and philanthropist, recognized the importance of offering a safe and nurturing environment for children who were orphans, neglected, or otherwise in need of care.
