Ragged Schools..



Most victorian schools in london are a piece of history and considred historic. Alot are however preseved and are included in museums. For example "The Ragged School Museum" in London.

Ragged schools is a name commonly given after about 1840 to the many independently established 19th century charity schools in the United Kingdom which provided entirely free education and, in most cases, food, clothing, lodging and other home missionary services for those too poor to pay. Often they were established in poor working class districts of the rapidly expanding industrial towns.
