Bristol Carpentry Learn Manual Mullers Orphan Orphanage Orphans Welfare Childrens
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the daily life of Muller's New Orphan Houses in Bristol, a place of care and refuge for children in need during the late 19th century. The image focuses on the manual training class for boys, where they are engaged in learning the valuable skill of carpentry. The boys, dressed in simple uniforms, are intently focused on their work, their young faces reflecting determination and concentration. Their teacher, standing at the front of the room, watches over them with a watchful eye, ensuring they are making progress. The room is filled with tools of the trade, saws, hammers, and planes, all neatly arranged on the shelves and workbenches. Muller's New Orphan Houses, established in 1855, were a pioneering institution in the field of children's welfare. They provided a safe and nurturing environment for orphans and destitute children, offering them education, training, and a sense of community. The manual training classes were an essential part of the orphanage's curriculum, teaching boys practical skills that would help them secure employment and become self-sufficient members of society. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of education and the transformative power it holds, even in the most challenging of circumstances. It also highlights the dedication and compassion of those who worked at Muller's New Orphan Houses, providing a vital lifeline for children in need during a time of great social change.
