EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Model of Social Welfare: The First Floor Plan of the Square Workhouse (1835) Designed by Sampson Kempthorne for 300 Inmates" This historic print depicts the first floor layout of the Square Workhouse, a model design by architect Sampson Kempthorne, commissioned by the Poor Law Commissioners to house 300 inmates. The workhouse system, established in England and Wales in the 1830s, aimed to provide relief for the poor under the new Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834. The floor plan showcases the segregated living quarters for men and women, with separate dormitories and bedrooms. The men's dormitory, located at the top left, accommodated 150 men, while the women's dormitory, at the top right, housed 120 women and children. The central cross-shaped building housed common areas, including a kitchen, dining hall, and laundry. The layout was designed to promote a sense of discipline and order, with each inmate assigned a specific bed and task. The dormitories served as sleeping quarters, while the bedrooms were used for those requiring additional care or privacy. The Poor Law Commissioners, in their annual report, praised the design for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. However, the Dickensian conditions portrayed in Charles Dickens' novels, such as "Oliver Twist," highlighted the harsh realities of life within the workhouse walls. This print offers a glimpse into the historical architecture and social welfare policies of the 1830s, providing insight into the living conditions of the poor during this period. The Square Workhouse design, with its segregated dormitories and bedrooms, reflects the societal attitudes towards poverty and the legal framework that governed the treatment of the poor.
