EDITORS COMMENTS
This plan view, dated 1847, depicts the proposed extensions to an Irish workhouse designed by architect George Wilkinson. The original workhouse buildings are represented in blue, while the new additions are shown in bold red. The need for these expansions arose due to the dire circumstances brought about by the Great Famine in Ireland, which began in 1845 and resulted in widespread hunger and suffering. The workhouse system, established under the English Poor Law Amendment Act of 1838, was intended to provide relief for the destitute by offering them shelter, food, and work in exchange for their labor. However, the existing workhouses were quickly overwhelmed by the sheer number of people seeking assistance. George Wilkinson, a renowned architect of the time, was commissioned to design extensions that would increase the capacity of the workhouse buildings. The new sections, which are shown in red, include additional dormitories, kitchens, and other necessary facilities. The plan reveals a meticulous attention to detail, with each section labeled and the flow of people and resources carefully considered. The proposed extensions were a testament to the architect's commitment to addressing the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Ireland. However, the reality of implementing these plans was far more complex, and the workhouses continued to be a source of controversy and hardship for those who were forced to live and work within their cold, sterile walls. This historic plan view offers a unique insight into the architectural response to one of the most significant social crises in Irish history. It serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those who sought to alleviate the suffering of the Irish people during the Great Famine.
