EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the official bathing regulations for inmates at Sunderland Union Workhouse in County Durham, England, dated 1914. The image provides a poignant glimpse into the daily lives of those who resided in these institutions during a time when social welfare and care for the needy was managed differently than it is today. The regulations, displayed prominently on a wooden board, outline the rules for bathing at the workhouse. The first section is dedicated to the bathing schedule for children, indicating specific times for their bathing based on age. The second section details the bathing schedule for adults, with separate times for men and women. The regulations also include instructions for the use of bathing equipment and the responsibilities of the bathing attendants. The Sunderland Union Workhouse, like many other workhouses of the time, served as a last resort for those who were unable to support themselves. These institutions provided shelter, food, and basic care for the destitute, the elderly, the sick, and the orphaned. The bathing regulations reflect the strict and regimented nature of life in the workhouse, with every aspect of daily life, including bathing, being subject to rules and regulations. This photograph offers a unique insight into the social history of care and housing in the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of understanding the historical context of our past and the evolution of social welfare systems over time.
