EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Watts Naval Training School and Barnardo's Home in Dereham, Norfolk, during the 1910s. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of naval training and social care that took place within these walls. The imposing building, with its distinctive red-tiled roof and tall chimneys, dominates the scene. The school, which was established in 1906, was designed to provide sailors and marines with essential training in gunnery and seamanship, preparing them for service in the Royal Navy. The presence of the large gun battery in the foreground underscores the military focus of the institution. However, the photograph also reveals the compassionate side of the Watts Naval Training School. The Barnardo's Home, which was situated adjacent to the training facility, provided shelter and care for children in need. The image shows a doctor in uniform, suggesting that medical care was also available to the children. The nautical theme is evident throughout the photograph, with ropes and rigging visible on the buildings and boats moored in the nearby river. The children, dressed in their uniforms, are seen playing and working around the grounds, adding to the sense of community and camaraderie. This photograph offers a fascinating insight into the dual role of the Watts Naval Training School in Dereham, where young boys received both practical naval training and essential social care. The image captures the spirit of the time, with its focus on discipline, hard work, and compassion, making it a poignant reminder of a bygone era.
