1. Title: "Powering Education: The Engine Room of William Baker Technical School, Hertford, Run by Barnardo's This evocative photograph captures the heart of the William Baker Technical School in Hertford, an institution dedicated to providing education and care for children in need, run by Barnardo's, the renowned children's charity. The image focuses on the engine room of the Power House, a crucial component of the school's infrastructure that ensured a consistent power supply for the students' learning experience. The date of this photograph is unknown, but it offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the industrial side of the school that supported its daily operations. The children's home, which was part of Barnardo's network of social care facilities, aimed to provide a nurturing environment where young lives could be transformed through education and care. The engine, a testament to the school's commitment to self-sufficiency, stands proudly in the dimly lit room, its gears and pistons meticulously maintained. The children, not visible in the frame, would have been aware of the engine's presence and the vital role it played in their education. This image serves as a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the institutions that have dedicated themselves to the welfare of children, even in the face of adversity. The Power House at the William Baker Technical School in Hertford represents the unseen, yet essential, aspects of the educational journey for the children under Barnardo's care. It is a symbol of the determination and ingenuity that has defined the organization's legacy in the realm of children's welfare. This photograph, from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique perspective on the history of education and care, providing a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the enduring importance of institutions like Barnardo's in shaping the lives of countless children.
