EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a group of young boys diligently focus on mending their worn-out shoes at the East Harling branch of the National Institutions for Persons Requiring Care and Control (NIPRCC) in Norfolk, England, circa 1914. The institution, located at Kenninghall, was previously the Guiltcross Union workhouse and later served as the Eastern Counties Inebriates Reformatory, run by the Reverend Harold Burden. The Reverend Burden, a philanthropist and social reformer, established the NIPRCC as a charitable organization to house and care for feeble-minded children, providing them with essential skills training to help them lead productive lives. The shoe mending class was part of the organization's occupational therapy program, which aimed to instill discipline, self-reliance, and practical skills among the children. The boys in the photograph appear engrossed in their work, carefully examining their shoes and selecting the appropriate tools to repair them. Their determined expressions suggest a sense of pride and accomplishment in their task. The simple act of mending shoes not only provided them with a valuable skill but also helped to foster a sense of responsibility and self-sufficiency. The NIPRCC's East Harling branch, with its imposing red-brick facade, stands as a testament to the charitable efforts of the Reverend Burden and the dedication of those who sought to improve the lives of vulnerable children in need of care and support. This photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the past, highlighting the importance of education, skill development, and compassionate care in the lives of these young boys.
