1. Title: A Model of Progression: Sampson Kempthorne's Plan for an Industrial School for Pauper Children (1838) This evocative plan view, produced in 1838, showcases the design of the Model Industrial School for Pauper Children, an innovative establishment conceived by architect Sampson Kempthorne. The school was intended to offer a new solution for housing and educating the growing number of destitute children in the UK, providing them with essential skills and a pathway out of poverty, away from the harsh conditions of the workhouse. The intricately detailed drawing reveals the comprehensive layout of the school, which was designed to accommodate and care for a significant number of children. The plan includes various functional areas such as classrooms, workshops, dormitories, and a chapel, all arranged in a thoughtfully designed, efficient, and orderly manner. The architect's vision was to create an environment that would not only provide for the children's basic needs but also foster their intellectual, moral, and vocational development. Sampson Kempthorne's innovative design for the Model Industrial School was a significant departure from the traditional workhouse system, which was notorious for its inhumane conditions and lack of education and training for pauper children. The school represented a new approach to child welfare, focusing on the importance of education and skills training as a means to break the cycle of poverty and provide a brighter future for the next generation. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the architectural, social, and educational landscape of the 19th century. It stands as a testament to Sampson Kempthorne's vision and the broader societal shift towards recognizing the importance of education and care for the most vulnerable members of society.
