EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Fortescue House in Twickenham, the former Shaftesbury Homes School for Boys, which opened its doors in 1937. Situated along Hampton Road, the school had previously been housed in premises located on London Road in Twickenham. The Shaftesbury Homes, a renowned children's charity, provided care and support for children and young people in need. The Fortescue House school was specifically designed for boys, offering them a safe and nurturing environment to grow and thrive. The opening of this new facility marked an important milestone in the organization's history, allowing them to expand their reach and impact in the community. The architectural beauty of Fortescue House is evident in this image, with its red-brick facade and grand entranceway. The spacious grounds surrounding the building offer ample space for outdoor activities, ensuring the boys had opportunities for physical exercise and exploration. The school's interior was equally impressive, with well-appointed classrooms, communal areas, and living quarters designed to promote a sense of community and belonging. The Shaftesbury Homes School for Boys at Fortescue House played a significant role in the lives of countless children and young people, providing them with the care, education, and opportunities they needed to overcome adversity and build a brighter future. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the important work that was carried out within these walls and the lasting impact it had on the lives of those who attended.
