EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1875, offers a glimpse into the history of The St Marylebone School, which began its journey as the Marylebone Day School of Industry in 1791. Located in what was then Paradise Street, now known as Moxon Street, the school was established to provide education to the children of the impoverished parish community. In this era, before the widespread availability of formal education, the school played a vital role in teaching essential skills to its young students. Boys and girls were welcomed to attend, with the curriculum focusing on practical subjects such as needlework and straw plaiting. These skills not only provided the children with a means of self-sufficiency but also equipped them with the ability to contribute to their families' livelihoods. The school's mission was to break the cycle of poverty through education, instilling a sense of pride and self-worth in its students. The photograph, taken in 1875, captures the essence of the school's dedication to its cause. The children, dressed in their best attire, are seen engaged in their lessons, their faces reflecting a mix of concentration and curiosity. The teachers, too, are attentively guiding their students, fostering an environment of learning and growth. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the transformative power of education and the role that institutions like The St Marylebone School played in shaping the lives of countless young individuals, enabling them to rise above their circumstances and build a better future for themselves and their communities.
