EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Derby Railway Servants Orphanage in the late 1900s. The image shows a group of young boys intently focused on their work in the carpentry workshop. Dressed in simple, practical clothing, they are busy shaping pieces of wood with planes, mallets, and chisels, their faces reflecting determination and concentration. The Derby Railway Servants Orphanage was established in the late 19th century to provide care and education for the children of railway workers who had been killed or injured on the job. The orphanage was an important part of the social welfare system of the time, offering a safe and nurturing environment for these vulnerable children. Carpentry was just one of the many trades taught at the orphanage, which also included blacksmithing, shoemaking, and printing. These practical skills were designed to equip the children with the tools they would need to secure employment and build a better future for themselves. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the orphanage, where hard work and dedication were valued above all else. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of community support and the role that institutions like the Derby Railway Servants Orphanage played in providing care and opportunities for children in need. This photograph, taken circa 1908, is a valuable historical record of a time when the welfare of children was a top priority, and the importance of practical skills in securing a better future was widely recognized.
