Belper Brabazon Inmates Pauper Produced Sale Scheme Workhouse 1907


EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing 1907 card advertisement invites the public to attend the Brabazon Sale at Belper Workhouse in Derbyshire. The Brabazon Scheme was an initiative aimed at providing employment and training for the inmates of the workhouse, enabling them to produce high-quality goods that could be sold to the community. The card features an image of a group of men and women, dressed in their workhouse uniforms, gathered around tables filled with various items for sale. The atmosphere appears to be communal and productive, with the inmates engaged in their tasks and taking pride in their work. The sale offered a range of items, including "hand-knitted articles, sewn work, and other articles made by the paupers." The proceeds from the sale were intended to support the workhouse and its residents, providing them with essential resources and a sense of dignity through their labor. The Brabazon Scheme was part of a larger movement to reform the workhouse system and reduce the stigma associated with pauper labor. By producing and selling goods, the inmates were able to contribute to their community and gain valuable skills that could help them reintegrate into society upon leaving the workhouse. This card serves as a poignant reminder of the complex history of workhouses in England and the efforts made to humanize and improve the lives of those who found themselves in need of assistance. The Brabazon Sale at Belper Workhouse represents a small but significant step towards creating a more compassionate and sustainable system for supporting the most vulnerable members of society.
