EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative early 20th century photograph captures the Union Workhouse Infirmary in Kings Norton, Worcestershire, which was erected in 1897 adjacent to the existing workhouse on Raddlebarn Road. The pavilion-plan infirmary was designed to provide medical care for the poor and destitute, a service that was the responsibility of the local Union at the time. The image shows two women, one pushing a pram, and a young boy with a bicycle, standing outside the imposing gates of the infirmary. The scene exudes a sense of both sadness and hope, as the figures outside the gates await entry to the institution, while the boy's bicycle suggests a degree of freedom and optimism. The Union Workhouse, also known as the Kings Norton Union Workhouse, was later replaced by Selly Oak Hospital in the mid-20th century. The infirmary was a significant part of the local community during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, reflecting the social and medical history of the time. The architectural design of the infirmary was innovative for its time, featuring a pavilion plan that allowed for better ventilation and natural light, which were essential for the health and wellbeing of the patients. The infirmary's grand gateway, with its ornate ironwork, adds to the sense of dignity and respect that was intended for the institution and its inhabitants. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the history of healthcare and poverty in Kings Norton and the surrounding areas of Worcestershire, south west of Birmingham.
