EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the historical past of West Norwood, South London, as young boys from the Lambeth Schools for workhouse children engage in a rigorous stick drill exercise on Elder Road in 1902. Dressed in identical uniforms, these boys, many of whom were once residents of the workhouse, focus intently on their practice, their young faces reflecting determination and discipline. Among them is a young Charlie Chaplin, who briefly attended the schools in 1898, long before he would become a global icon of comedy and film. The Edwardian era image offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of children living in poverty during this period. The boys' uniforms, though worn and faded, suggest a sense of unity and equality, as they all participate in this physical exercise designed to promote health, discipline, and order. The stark contrast between the boys' drill practice and the barren playground behind them underscores the challenging circumstances that these children faced. The Lambeth Schools, which were established to provide education for the children of the workhouse, played a crucial role in the lives of thousands of children during this era. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the historical significance of these institutions and the resilience of the children who attended them. As we look at this image, we are transported back in time, offering us a unique perspective on the past and the challenges faced by those who lived through it.
