EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the historic Dorking Workhouse Infirmary, located in Surrey, England. Established in 1841, the workhouse was a product of the English Poor Law Amendment Act, which aimed to provide a centralized system for the relief of poverty. The infirmary was added to the workhouse complex in 1900, marking the beginning of the 20th century. The imposing Victorian building stands as a testament to the social and medical history of the time. With its grand facade and intricate architectural details, the infirmary reflects the institutional nature of care during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The workhouse system, which housed and provided for the destitute, was a controversial and often inhumane solution to poverty, with the infirmary serving as a place of medical care for the sick and infirm. The Dorking Workhouse Infirmary later became Dorking General Hospital, continuing its role as a vital healthcare provider in the community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual connection to the history of poverty, housing, and medical care in Surrey during the 1840s and beyond. The image also speaks to the evolution of healthcare and social services, as well as the changing attitudes towards poverty and the role of the state in providing for its citizens." This photograph is a valuable historical record, offering insight into the social and medical history of Surrey during the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a poignant reminder of the past, and a testament to the resilience and adaptability of healthcare and social services over time.
