Brockham Industrial Home Students

On 1st February 1859 the Hon. Mrs. Emmeline Way opened ‘The Brockham Home and Training School for Workhouse Girls’. The Home was founded for orphan girls of eleven to sixteen from workhouses across England and the girls were trained in all kinds of household work to fit them for domestic service. When they were ‘out of a situation’ it also provided them with a home.
