EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic King Edwards School, located in St Georges Road, Southwark, London. The image dates back to around 1878 and was captured by an unknown creator. King Edwards School has a rich history that can be traced back to the 16th century when it was established as Bridewell Royal Hospital. Initially serving as a place where homeless children were apprenticed to learn trades, the institution evolved over time. In 1830, a new House of Occupations was opened with a primary focus on providing education for both boys and girls. The architectural beauty of this Georgian building is evident in its stunning facade that stands tall along the avenue. As we delve into Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places by Edward Walford (published by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. ), we gain further insights into the significance of this educational establishment. This monochrome photograph not only captures the exterior landscape but also transports us back to nineteenth-century England. It serves as a reminder of how far our education system has come while paying homage to those who dedicated their lives to teaching generations past.
