EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Past Reality: Dulverton Union Workhouse, 1918" This evocative photograph captures the imposing facade of Dulverton Union Workhouse, as it stood in 1918. Located on Bridge Street in the picturesque town of Dulverton, this historic building was erected in 1856, designed by E. Ashworth. At the time, it served as a vital institution for the local community, providing shelter, food, and work for those in need. The Workhouse System, established under the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, aimed to reduce the cost of poor relief by encouraging able-bodied paupers to work rather than relying on handouts. The inmates, as they were called, were housed in large, institutional buildings like this one, where they were expected to work in return for their keep. The photograph reveals the grandeur and scale of the building, with its tall, arched windows, intricate stonework, and imposing entranceway. The grounds surrounding the Workhouse are meticulously maintained, with well-tended gardens and a large, open yard where inmates would have worked. Despite its impressive appearance, life inside the Workhouse was far from easy. Conditions were often harsh, with long hours, meagre rations, and strict discipline enforced to deter idleness and encourage self-sufficiency. The Workhouse was a last resort for those who had no other means of support, a stark reminder of the harsh realities of poverty in Victorian England. Today, the former Dulverton Union Workhouse stands as a testament to a bygone era. It now houses National Park offices, a reminder of the building's rich history and the important role it played in the lives of those who sought refuge within its walls over a century ago.
