EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1908, depicts a group of children playing and socializing outside the Highwood School in Brentwood. The establishment, which opened in 1904 under the Metropolitan Asylums Board, was initially created to provide specialized care and treatment for children suffering from ophthalmia. Ophthalmia is an inflammatory condition that can lead to blindness, making the work of this institution crucial for the welfare of these young patients. The children in the image, dressed in their best attire, seem to be enjoying a moment of respite from their daily routines. The school blocks, with their red-brick facade and tall chimneys, form an imposing yet comforting backdrop to the scene. The children's laughter and playful expressions radiate joy and innocence, hinting at the sense of community and care that must have been present within the Highwood School. The Metropolitan Asylums Board, a social welfare organization, took great strides in providing care and support for vulnerable children and adults in London during the early 20th century. The opening of Highwood School in Brentwood was a significant step towards addressing the health needs of children with ophthalmia, offering them a chance at a brighter future. As the years passed, the site of the Highwood School evolved, eventually becoming Highwood Hospital, a mental health facility that continued to serve the community until its closure in 2012. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the history and impact of this once-important institution, offering a glimpse into the lives of the children who sought refuge and care within its walls.
