EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the imposing presence of the Kensington Workhouse, as it stood on Marloes Road in London during an uncertain time in history. Built between 1847 and 1848, this Jacobean-style red-brick edifice was erected by the parish of St Mary Abbots, Kensington, to provide shelter and relief for the destitute and pauperized population of the area. Designed by architect Thomas Allom, the workhouse was a stark reminder of the social and economic realities of the Victorian era. The workhouse system, established under the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, was intended to provide a deterrent to able-bodied paupers, who were expected to work in exchange for their keep. The inmates were segregated by gender and age, and were subjected to harsh living conditions, including long hours of labor, meager rations, and limited access to education and medical care. This photograph, taken at an unknown date, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the somber and austere atmosphere of the Kensington Workhouse. The building later became St Mary Abbots Hospital, but its history as a workhouse remains an important chapter in the social and architectural history of London. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by the urban poor during this period and the role that institutions like the workhouse played in shaping the social fabric of the city.
