EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Old Hunslet Union Workhouse Infirmary on Hillidge Road in Hunslet, West Yorkshire, around the year 1902. The Old Hunslet Union Workhouse, established in 1837, was a place of last resort for the destitute, the elderly, and the infirm. The infirmary next to the building was extensively cultivated to provide vegetables for the inmates' consumption. The site's self-sufficiency was a crucial aspect of the workhouse system, which aimed to reduce the financial burden on the parish and the local community. The Old Hunslet Union Workhouse closed in 1903, following the opening of a new workhouse at Rothwell Haigh. The new facility offered more modern amenities and accommodations, marking the end of an era for the Old Hunslet Union Workhouse. The image portrays the infirmary's serene and productive atmosphere, with the meticulously tended vegetable garden reflecting the resilience and resourcefulness of those who lived and worked there. The Old Hunslet Union Workhouse Infirmary, now a part of Hunslet's rich history, stands as a testament to the determination and perseverance of those who sought refuge within its walls. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the daily lives of the inmates and the workhouse system during the early 20th century.
