EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the imposing gates of the Middlesex House of Detention, located in the heart of Clerkenwell, London, in 1862. The House of Detention, also known as the Clerkenwell Bridewell, was a workhouse and house of correction that served the parish of Clerkenwell from the 16th century until its closure in 1913. The gates, with their intricately designed ironwork and imposing size, served as both a barrier and a symbol of the institution's authority. The Middlesex House of Detention was a place of last resort for the parish's paupers, housing both those who had committed petty crimes and those who were unable to support themselves. Conditions within the workhouse were notoriously harsh, with long hours of labor, meager rations, and strict discipline. Despite the harsh conditions, the workhouse played an essential role in the community, providing shelter, food, and employment for those in need. The gates, with their ominous presence, served as a reminder of the consequences of poverty and lawlessness, and the importance of adhering to the social norms of the time. This photograph, taken in 1862, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of social welfare and the challenges faced by those in need in Victorian London. The gates of the Middlesex House of Detention at Clerkenwell stand as a testament to the complex and often controversial history of social welfare in England, and serve as a reminder of the enduring importance of providing for those in need.
