The Liverpool Industrial Schools, at Kirkdale, 1850. Creator: Unknown.

The Liverpool Industrial Schools, at Kirkdale, [near Liverpool], 1850. 'It was found...that the juvenile pauperism of Liverpool was so largely on the increase as to be incapable of being accommodated in the workhouse...at present [the institution] contains 1123 children, of whom 640 are boys, and 483 girls...this experiment has been highly favourable in extending education among the destitute children of the town...The trades which the boys are taught are tailoring, shoemaking, and carpentering. The girls are instructed in knitting, needlework, washing, ironing, mangling, cooking, and general household work, to qualify them for domestic servants...The establishment...is a model of order and cleanliness...The schools offer so many advantages to poor children, that it has become an object of ambition among many people, who are not paupers, to get their children introduced into it'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
