EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the entrance drive of the Union Workhouse in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, built between 1837 and 1839 on Coombe Road. Designed by architect William Mason, the workhouse was a product of the English Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, which aimed to provide a more efficient and cost-effective system for the relief of poverty. The image portrays a scene of daily life at the workhouse, with inmates, staff, and children lining the driveway. The grandeur of the workhouse's entrance, with its tree-lined avenue and imposing gates, contrasts starkly with the reality of the hardships faced by those who resided within its walls. The Union Workhouse later became part of Kingston Hospital, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a historical record of a time when the workhouse system was the primary means of providing care for the poor and destitute. The image is reminiscent of the Victorian era, with its focus on order, discipline, and self-reliance. The photograph, taken in approximately 1925, also serves as a reminder of the medical and health care advances that have taken place since the 1830s, when the workhouse system was first established. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the complex history of poverty, housing, and care in Surrey, and is a valuable addition to any collection of historical or social history images.
