1. Title: A Glimpse into Lambeth Workhouse Schools Infirmary: Caring for the Sick and Infirm Children (1905) This evocative photograph offers a rare insight into the Lambeth Workhouse Schools Infirmary located on Elder Road, West Norwood, during the early 20th century. Established by the parish of Lambeth, the workhouse functioned as a place of last resort for those in need, providing shelter, food, and education for the destitute, the elderly, and the infirm. The interior view of the Schools Infirmary ward captured in this image reveals a scene of quiet care and compassion. The room is filled with simple cots and beds, arranged in neat rows, providing temporary shelter for the sick and infirm children. Nurses, dressed in white uniforms, attend to their young charges with gentle care and attention. The workhouse system, while often criticized for its harsh conditions and stigma, also aimed to provide essential services for those in need. The establishment of schools within the workhouses was a progressive step towards improving the lives of the pauper children, who would otherwise have been left to fend for themselves. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and multifaceted nature of the workhouse system. Despite the challenging circumstances that led families to seek refuge within its walls, the workhouse provided a vital safety net for those in need, offering education, care, and support to the most vulnerable members of society. The children in this photograph, though likely facing difficult circumstances, are surrounded by the comforting presence of their nurses and the reassuring routine of the infirmary. The scene is a testament to the resilience and determination of those who lived and worked within the workhouse system, as well as the compassionate caregivers who dedicated their lives to improving the lives of the paupers in their charge.
