EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and explore the historical beauty of Fylde Union Workhouse in Kirkham, Lancashire. Built in 1844, this Victorian and Edwardian architectural masterpiece once stood as a symbol of the harsh realities of poverty and destitution during the 19th century. The imposing entrance and winding pathway leading to the workhouse on Moor Lane, Kirkham, were the first sights that greeted the unfortunate souls who sought refuge from a life of hardship and despair. The Fylde Union Workhouse was a place of last resort for the impoverished and homeless, a place where they could find shelter and sustenance in exchange for hard labor. The building's austere facade and bare interiors were a stark reminder of the harsh laws and regulations that governed the lives of its inhabitants. Despite its grim past, the Fylde Union Workhouse is an important part of Lancashire's history. It served its purpose for over 60 years before being replaced by a larger building in Wesham in 1907. After several years of use as a children's home, the old workhouse was eventually demolished and replaced by a group of cottage homes. Today, the memory of this once imposing building remains etched in the annals of history, a testament to the resilience and determination of those who sought refuge within its walls. As you stand before this photograph, take a moment to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty and significance of this historical landmark.
