EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Place of Last Resort: The Union Workhouse Infirmary at Hambledon, Surrey, 1907" This evocative photograph captures the Union Workhouse Infirmary at Hambledon, Surrey, in 1907. During the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, workhouses were institutions established by English parishes and unions to provide assistance to the poor, the sick, and the destitute. This image offers a glimpse into the medical care and living conditions of those who sought refuge in these institutions during a time when poverty and social welfare were governed by harsh laws. The Union Workhouse Infirmary at Hambledon, Surrey, was one such institution. The building, with its imposing and austere facade, stands as a testament to the era's social and historical context. The infirmary was an extension of the workhouse, designed to provide medical care for the sick and infirm residents. The photograph reveals a long, narrow corridor lined with beds, each with a thin, worn mattress, suggesting the cramped and sparse living conditions. The Edwardian period (1901-1910) marked the end of the Victorian era and the beginning of significant social and political changes. The photograph, taken in 1907, reflects the transitional period between the harsh, punitive workhouse system and the emergence of more humane and compassionate approaches to caring for the poor and the sick. As you gaze upon this image, consider the stories of the individuals who once called this place home. Reflect on the challenges they faced and the resilience they displayed in the face of adversity. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past and the importance of understanding our history to inform our present and shape our future.
