EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Guardians' Board Room: A Peek into Weymouth's Historical Union Workhouse" This evocative exterior photograph captures the essence of Weymouth's Union Workhouse, specifically the Board Room located on Wyke Road. The image transports us back in time to the Victorian and Edwardian eras, when the building served as a vital institution for the care of the poor and destitute. The Board Room, with its imposing brick and stone façade, exudes an aura of authority and solemnity. The sloping roof and railings add to its unique character, while the pavement and railings at the entrance suggest the passage of time and the countless footsteps that have graced this historic site. Originally built in the late 1800s, the Weymouth Union Workhouse was a place of last resort for those in need. The Board of Guardians, responsible for the administration of the workhouse, would meet in this very room to discuss the welfare of the inmates and make crucial decisions regarding their care. The building later underwent significant transformations, first becoming Portway Hospital and then being converted to residential use. Today, the former Board Room stands as a testament to Weymouth's rich history, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who once sought refuge within its walls. This photograph, with its intriguing details and historical significance, serves as a powerful reminder of the past and the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations.
