EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Union Workhouse in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, which was designed by architect William Bonython Moffatt and opened in 1857. The imposing stone building, located at Friarage Fields, once served as a place of last resort for the destitute, the sick, and the elderly, who were provided with shelter, food, and basic medical treatment in exchange for hard labor. The entranceway, with its tall, arched gate and wrought-iron fence, stands as a somber reminder of a time when poverty and disease were rampant in rural areas of the country. A small dog, seemingly out of place, sits near the entrance, adding a touch of warmth and companionship to the otherwise austere scene. The Union Workhouse was in operation until 1948, when it was transformed into the Friarage Hospital, an orthopaedic hospital for polio victims. The 1940s brought new life to the old workhouse, as it became a vital institution for the care and treatment of those affected by the crippling disease. The passage of time has left its mark on the building, with moss growing on the walls and the once-sharp lines of the architecture softened by the elements. Yet, the history of this remarkable place remains as vivid as ever, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of community care.
