EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Victorian Era Relic - Islington Parish Workhouse, North London (1870) 2.. This aerial photograph captures the historic Islington Parish Workhouse, located on St John's Road in North London, which opened its doors in 1870. Designed by R.H. Burden, this imposing structure was built to house over 1000 inmates during the Victorian era. The main building, standing proudly at three storeys high, was surmounted by a clock tower, adding an air of authority and discipline to the institution. The Islington Parish Workhouse, later known as Hillside, was a significant part of the social fabric during the 1860s and 1870s when poverty was rampant in the area. The building was intended to provide shelter, food, and employment to the destitute, the elderly, and the infirm, in exchange for their labour. The inmates were required to work within the workhouse, contributing to the upkeep of the institution and their own sustenance. The 1870s workhouse was a stark reminder of the social conditions during the Victorian era. The austere architecture, with its high walls and imposing structure, served as a symbol of the strict laws and regulations governing the lives of the inmates. The clock tower, a prominent feature of the building, not only marked the passage of time but also symbolized the relentless march of the workhouse regime. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a historical perspective of the Islington Parish Workhouse and the societal norms of the time. The image transports us back to the 19th century, allowing us to reflect on the challenges and hardships faced by the less fortunate members of society during this period.
