I visited London's Foundling Hospital Museum a few years ago and couldn't let go of the heart-breaking stories revealed by the tokens left there (scraps of ribbon or lace, or even an old bottle top) by women who hoped they might, one day, be able to reclaim their precious babies.
It's a sobering reminder of the harshness of life before the Welfare State.
I'd like to see all Sixth Form Colleges within reach of London make a visit there.
