Laundry Work at Tennyson Street School, Battersea, London - A Glimpse into Early 20th Century Education
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1907, capturing a moment in time at Tennyson Street School in Battersea, London. The image showcases two young girls diligently engaged in laundry work inside the school premises. One girl can be seen meticulously folding clothes on a wooden table while her companion feeds them through an old-fashioned mangle. The backdrop of this scene reveals a glimpse of educational instruction as a blackboard behind the girls displays the words "Folding and Mangling". This visual reminder emphasizes how schools during that era aimed to impart practical skills alongside traditional academic subjects. The photograph offers valuable insights into early 20th-century education for children living in Battersea. It reflects the efforts made by local councils like Greater London Council (GLC) and London County Council to provide comprehensive schooling experiences. These initiatives ensured that students were equipped with essential life skills such as housework and laundry techniques. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome snapshot captures not only historical significance but also highlights gender roles prevalent during that period. The image portrays young females actively participating in domestic tasks within an educational setting, shedding light on societal expectations placed upon women even from an early age. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, it serves as a poignant reminder of how far our education system has evolved over time while honoring
