EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Snapshot of History: Clerkenwell Parish Workhouse, London (1727-1827). This evocative image transports us back in time to the heart of Central London, specifically to the Clerkenwell Parish Workhouse located on Farringdon Road, formerly known as Coppice Row. Established in 1727, this historic building stands as a poignant reminder of the past, when poverty and homelessness were rampant in the streets of 18th and 19th century London. The Workhouse system, a key component of the English Poor Law of 1601, aimed to provide shelter, food, and work for the destitute, in exchange for their labor. The Clerkenwell Parish Workhouse, with its imposing architecture and institutional feel, served as a last resort for those who had no other means of survival. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, with its narrow, cobblestone street and the Workhouse's austere facade. The building, with its tall, arched windows and intricate brickwork, is a testament to the architectural styles of the 18th and 19th centuries. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the historical significance of the Clerkenwell Parish Workhouse and the role it played in the lives of countless individuals during a time when poverty and homelessness were widespread. The building stands as a symbol of the social and legislative changes that shaped the fabric of London and its people. The passage of time has not diminished the impact of this historic institution. Today, it continues to be a source of fascination for historians, architects, and anyone interested in the rich history of London and its people. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the challenges and triumphs of a century long gone.
