EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the entrance to the Union Workhouse on Raddlebarn Road in Kings Norton, Worcestershire, a poignant reminder of a bygone era in the history of social welfare. Designed by architect Edward Holmes and opened in 1870, the building later became part of Selly Oak Hospital. The ornate, Victorian architecture of the workhouse is evident in the intricate ivy and scrollwork adorning the entrance, contrasting starkly with the pavement and bare trees outside. The Union Workhouse was a place of last resort for the poor and destitute, where those unable to support themselves were required by law to reside and perform labor in exchange for shelter and sustenance. The building's imposing entrance, with its heavy wooden doors and high, arched windows, reflects the austere and regimented nature of life inside. The 1870s saw the height of the workhouse system in Britain, with thousands of institutions like this one housing and caring for the impoverished. Today, the site stands as a testament to the historical significance of this important social institution, and serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by those who lived through poverty in Victorian England.
