1. Title: Bisley Farm School No. 2 Ground-Floor Plan: A Turn-of-the-Century Haven for Children in Need This ground-floor plan, dated circa 1888, offers a glimpse into the past of Bisley Farm School No. 2, which was later known as the Shaftesbury School block. Situated in the picturesque county of Surrey, England, this institution was established in 1873 to provide care, education, and support for orphaned, abandoned, and destitute children. The plan reveals the meticulous layout of the new building that was added to the existing Bisley Farm School. Designed with the children's welfare in mind, the ground floor features several rooms dedicated to various essential services. The central portion of the plan showcases the main hall, which likely served as a communal space for gatherings, activities, and meals. Adjacent to the main hall, there are several rooms designated for educational purposes, including a classroom, a schoolroom, and a drawing room. These spaces allowed the children to receive a well-rounded education and engage in creative pursuits. Additionally, the plan reveals rooms for the school's staff, such as a housekeeper's room, a matron's room, and a nurse's room. These accommodations ensured that the children were cared for around the clock by dedicated and compassionate individuals. The ground-floor plan of Bisley Farm School No. 2 is a testament to the commitment of its founders to provide a nurturing and supportive environment for children in need. This architectural design, which prioritized the children's education, social development, and overall well-being, set a precedent for future children's homes and care institutions.
