EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into the past of Esher Place School for Girls, which was run by the renowned Shaftesbury Homes in Surrey, England, from 1930 to 1952. Situated in the picturesque town of Esher, the school provided care and education for young girls during a significant period in history. The Shaftesbury Homes, a charitable organization dedicated to the welfare of children and young people, operated several children's homes and schools across the United Kingdom. Esher Place School was one of their most notable establishments, offering a nurturing environment for girls who required a safe and supportive place to grow and learn. Circa 1930, the girls in this photograph can be seen engaged in a variety of activities, reflecting the diverse and well-rounded curriculum offered at the school. They are seen playing games, practicing art, and even tending to the garden. The girls appear to be dressed in uniforms, which further emphasizes the sense of community and structure that was an essential part of life at Esher Place School. The historic Esher Place, with its impressive architecture and beautiful surroundings, served as the perfect backdrop for the girls' education and upbringing. The Shaftesbury Homes' commitment to providing quality care and opportunities for children during this era was truly commendable, and this photograph offers a poignant reminder of the positive impact they had on the lives of countless young people. This photograph is a valuable historical record of Esher Place School and the Shaftesbury Homes, and it invites us to reflect on the importance of care, education, and community in the lives of children and young people.
