EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a group of boys concentrate intently as they work in the printing department at Barnardos William Baker Training School, also known as Goldings, near Hertford. Established in 1878, Barnardos was one of the first children's charities in the UK, founded by Thomas Barnardo to provide care and support for orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. The William Baker Training School was part of Barnardos' network of homes and institutions, which aimed to provide practical skills training and education to help prepare children for independent living. The boys in this image are likely residents of the Barnardos home, learning a valuable trade in the printing department. They are engrossed in their work, their expressions focused and determined as they operate the printing presses and cut and fold paper. The room is filled with the hum of machinery and the scent of ink and paper, creating an atmosphere of industry and productivity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Barnardos homes, which provided essential care and services to thousands of children over the years. The boys in the printing department were not only learning a trade but also gaining a sense of purpose and accomplishment, which would serve them well in their future lives. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the important role that charities like Barnardos have played in providing care and support to vulnerable children throughout history.
