EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a distant view of the Bury Union workhouse in Jericho, Lancashire. Opened in 1857, this imposing structure served as a symbol of both hope and despair for those seeking refuge during times of hardship. Once home to the destitute and homeless, it later transformed into Fairfield Hospital. The image evokes a sense of historical significance, transporting us back to an era marked by poverty and social inequality. The Victorian and Edwardian architecture stands tall against the backdrop of Lancashire's landscape, reminding us of the challenges faced by society at that time. Within these walls lay stories untold - tales of struggle, resilience, and survival. The workhouse represented more than just a place for shelter; it was also a hub for medical care and treatment. In an age where healthcare was limited, this building provided solace to those in need. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded not only of our past but also how far we have come in terms of social welfare. It serves as a poignant reminder that homelessness and poverty were once prevalent issues within our communities. Let this image be a testament to the progress made in providing better living conditions for all individuals regardless of their circumstances. May it inspire us to continue striving towards creating societies where everyone has access to adequate housing, healthcare, and support systems necessary for their well-being
