EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of uniformed women, believed to be nurses, at the Chorlton Union Workhouse in Withington, near Manchester. The women are all wearing leather belts with keys attached, adding an air of authority and practicality to their appearance. The exact date of this image is unknown, but it provides a glimpse into the past of the institution, which was established in 1837 to provide relief and care for the destitute, the sick, and the elderly. The Chorlton Union Workhouse was one of many such institutions that were established across England and Wales during the Victorian era to provide for the growing numbers of paupers who were unable to support themselves. Nurses played a crucial role in these workhouses, providing medical care and assistance to the inmates. The leather belts with keys were likely used to access various areas of the workhouse, including the infirmary and stores. This photograph offers a fascinating insight into the lives of the nurses who worked in the Chorlton Union Workhouse, and the important role they played in the care and wellbeing of the inmates. The image also serves as a reminder of the historical significance of workhouses and the social and economic conditions that led to their establishment.
