 Rainham Hall- The Nursery Years

Picture

​​During the Second World War, with the men away fighting, there was a shortage in Britain’s workforce...To allow mothers with young children to go out to work, the government, via local authorities, set up wartime nurseries. Many of these nurseries were housed in prefabricated buildings but the children of Rainham were lucky – they had the run of Rainham Hall and its gardens,.a far cry from the luxury home John Harle built.

The day nursery era is a  project that looks through lens of childhood experiences inside Rainham Hall
during its time as a day nursery. 
(1943-1954) Audio stories were collected from the nursery attendees and objects
created to make the fading memory - tangible .

​. ‘A war-time nursery’ is about reunion, rediscovering a forgotten era in the building’s history and reuniting people with their own childhood, 

"Childhood in an Object"
