EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the entrance to the Union Workhouse in Guildford, Surrey, during its deployment as a military hospital in the early 20th century. The image, dated 1915, portrays the historic building's transformation from a place of poverty and hardship to a site of care and healing during the First World War. Designed by renowned architects George Gilbert Scott and William Bonython Moffatt in the 1830s, the Union Workhouse was initially established to provide shelter and assistance to the destitute and paupers according to the Poor Law legislation of the time. As the Great War raged on, the building was repurposed to accommodate wounded soldiers. In this photograph, various military personnel can be seen, including an officer on crutches, demonstrating the devastating impact of war on the human body. A Red Cross ambulance stands nearby, ready to transport the wounded to the hospital for treatment. The Union Workhouse, later known as Warren Road Hospital and then St Luke's Hospital, has a rich history that spans across the 19th and 20th centuries. Its architectural beauty, a testament to the Victorian and Edwardian eras, stands in stark contrast to the harsh realities of poverty and suffering that once defined its purpose. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the building's transformation and the role it played in providing care and support during a time of war.
