Cottage Homes, Wednesfield, Staffordshire, England



 


Notes:
In 1889 the Wolverhampton Board of Guardians built cottage homes in Amos Lane, Wednesfield. The children were educated within the homes as local residents were opposed to them attending local state schools. Although an improvement on the workhouse, conditions were still comparatively austere by today's standards. When the children reached they age of 13 they could be apprenticed out under supervision. After 1930 the Cottage Homes became children's homes but by the end of the 1960s the buildings were used for different purposes. They have now all been demolished.
