EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life at St. Mary's Home Industrial School in Buxted, Surrey, circa 1916. The image shows a group of young boys, dressed in uniforms, gathered around a long table in the school's dining hall. The boys appear focused on their meals, some with their heads down, while others engage in conversation with one another. St. Mary's Home Industrial School was established in the late 19th century to provide care and education for children in need, including orphans, abandoned children, and those deemed neglected or delinquent. The school was initially run by the Sisters of Mercy, and later became an Approved School under the Children Act of 1948. The boys in the photograph are likely residents of the school, who were provided with food, shelter, education, and vocational training. The industrial aspect of the school's name refers to the emphasis on teaching practical skills, such as farming, gardening, and crafts, to help the children become self-sufficient and prepare them for employment upon leaving the school. Despite the challenging circumstances that brought these boys to St. Mary's, the photograph reveals a sense of community and camaraderie among them. The shared experience of living and learning together in the school's supportive environment likely created strong bonds and lasting memories for many of the boys. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past of children's homes and the important role they played in providing care and support for vulnerable young people. It is a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength of children in difficult circumstances and the enduring impact of the caring adults who helped shape their futures.
