EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the front entrance of Nottingham Union Workhouse at Bagthorpe, Nottingham, as it appeared around the turn of the 20th century. Designed by architect Arthur Marshall, the imposing building and its accompanying large infirmary were opened in 1903, providing shelter and relief for the poor and destitute of Nottingham and the surrounding Midlands area. The Edwardian-era workhouse, with its distinctive red-brick facade, tall chimney, and ornate tower, stands proudly at the end of a sweeping driveway, framed by lush green lawn and trees. Seated outside the entrance, dressed in their uniforms, are members of the workhouse staff, ready to attend to the needs of the inmates. The front entrance, with its grand arched doorway and intricate stonework, is a testament to the institutional nature of the workhouse system, which aimed to provide a deterrent to those seeking relief under the Poor Law. The Union Workhouse at Bagthorpe was later converted into Nottingham City Hospital in 1906, marking the end of an era for this historic building. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the social and historical significance of workhouses in the history of British welfare and care. The photograph, taken around 1903 or 1906, is a valuable historical record of this important building and the people who lived and worked there.
