EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Victorian-Edwardian Architectural Marvel: Steyning Union Workhouse, Shoreham, Sussex 2.. This evocative aerial photograph captures the historic Steyning Union Workhouse, situated at Kingston-by-Sea, near Shoreham, Sussex. Designed by the architectural partnership of Charles E. Clayton and Ernest Black of Brighton, the workhouse was completed and opened in 1901. The site later transformed into Southlands Hospital, serving as a vital medical and health care facility for the community. 3. Background: The late 1890s marked a pivotal moment in British social history, with the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1898 leading to significant changes in the administration of poor relief. This necessitated the construction of new workhouses, designed to be more humane and less punitive than their predecessors. 4. Design and Architecture: The architects, Charles E. Clayton and Ernest Black, crafted a striking design for the Steyning Union Workhouse, combining Victorian and Edwardian architectural elements. The buildings featured red brick and terracotta detailing, with a symmetrical layout that exuded a sense of order and discipline. 5. Transformation and Legacy: The Steyning Union Workhouse stood as a testament to the changing social landscape of the time, providing shelter, care, and support for the poor and vulnerable. Its later transformation into Southlands Hospital further underscored its role as a vital community resource, offering medical and health care services to the residents of Shoreham and Sussex. 6. Historical Significance: This aerial view offers a unique perspective on the architectural and historical significance of the Steyning Union Workhouse. Its intricate design, rooted in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, continues to captivate and inspire, while its role in the provision of social welfare highlights the enduring importance of compassion and care in our communities.
