EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Holborn Schools in Mitcham, Surrey, taken in 1907. Originally established in 1856, these schools were situated in the grounds of Eagle House and provided essential accommodation, education, and industrial training for pauper children, keeping them away from the overcrowded and harsh conditions of the main workhouse. The image showcases a grand gateway, adorned with intricate iron railings and the distinctive Eagle emblem, which served as the entrance to the Holborn Schools. The High Street of Mitcham can be seen in the background, with the imposing Victorian and Edwardian houses lining the street, offering a glimpse into the living conditions of the time. During the 1850s, workhouses were the primary means of providing relief for the poor, with children often being separated from their families and subjected to harsh living conditions. The Holborn Schools, however, offered a glimmer of hope, providing a more humane alternative for the education and well-being of these children. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, offering a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the Holborn Schools and the vital role they played in the lives of countless children during a time of great need. This image is an invaluable piece of social history, offering a unique perspective into the lives of those who lived during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
