EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Cockermouth Union schools at Flimby, Cumberland, in around 1905. The image shows the imposing Flimby Lodge, which was purchased by the Union in 1886 for conversion into a school and vagrant wards. At the time, the Union was responsible for providing relief and shelter for the poor and destitute in the community. The Victorian and Edwardian eras saw a significant increase in poverty and social unrest, leading to the establishment of workhouses as a means of providing for the most vulnerable members of society. The conversion of Flimby Lodge into a school and workhouse wards was part of this larger movement to address the needs of the impoverished population. The building, with its grand architecture and imposing facade, stands as a testament to the complex history of poverty and social welfare in Cumberland during this period. The schools and wards housed children and adults, providing them with education and shelter, as well as a place to live for those who were unable to support themselves. Despite the seemingly bleak circumstances, the photograph also conveys a sense of order and structure, with children neatly lined up outside the building. This suggests that, despite the challenges faced by those who lived and studied there, there was a sense of community and support within the walls of the Union schools at Flimby. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of workhouses and their role in providing for the poor and vulnerable during a time of great social and economic change. Today, the building stands as a valuable piece of Cumberland's history, offering insights into the lives of those who lived and studied there over a century ago.
