EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a large group of boys sitting on a grassy bank at Wigmore Schools in the West Midlands, England, circa 1904. The school, located on Pennyhill Lane in Wigmore, was established in 1870 to house workhouse children from the Walsall and West Bromwich Unions. The boys in the photograph are dressed in identical uniforms consisting of shorts and shirts with large collars, reflecting the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The setting of the photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the history of education for children from poorer backgrounds during this period. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of access to education for all, regardless of socio-economic status. Established over a century ago, Wigmore Schools played a significant role in the lives of these boys, providing them with the opportunity to learn and grow in a supportive environment. The grassy bank, now overgrown with foliage, adds to the sense of history and nostalgia, making this photograph a valuable historical document.
