view of the Yorkshire Moors (now in Co. Durham), by the A66, under snow. From the graveyard in Bowes, where William Shaw, headmaster, is buried along with 8 pupils from his school, William Shaw's Academy, including George Ashton Tayor, the original of Smike, companion to Nicholas Nickleby in the novel by Charles Dickens, English author. William Shaw's Academy was one of several schools in the area offering tuition 'without holidays' to unwanted children, often from London. Dickens made a special visit through thick snow in February 1838, and denounced the cruelty and appalling conditions in his novel, carefully naming the headmaster 'Wackford Squeers'. Several children went blind through malnutrition.
