EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Standon Boys Farm Home in Eccleshall, Staffordshire, circa 1900. Run by the Waifs and Strays Society, the home provided a refuge for boys in need, operating first as an Industrial School and later transitioning into an Approved School. In this image, a group of boys diligently churn butter, their young faces focused on the task at hand. The Industrial School system, established in the late 1800s, aimed to provide education and training for children who were orphaned, abandoned, or otherwise in need of care. The boys at Standon Farm Home were taught various trades and skills, including farming and dairy work, to prepare them for independent living. The Waifs and Strays Society, a leading children's charity of the time, oversaw the running of the home, ensuring that the boys received the care and support they needed to thrive. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of these boys, who, despite their challenging circumstances, were given the opportunity to learn valuable skills and build a foundation for their future.
