1. Title: "A Historical Glance into the Second Floor Plan of the Hexagonal Workhouse: A Model of 19th Century Poverty Alleviation and Segregation" This print showcases the second floor plan of the Hexagonal, or Y-plan, workhouse design by Sampson Kempthorne, which was issued by the Poor Law Commissioners in 1835. This design, a significant component of the Dickensian era's welfare system, was intended to house and provide for the poor, the destitute, and the needy during the 1830s. The layout reveals a meticulously planned and segregated living arrangement for paupers. The floor plan is divided into distinct areas for men and women, reflecting the gendered nature of the workhouse system. The men's quarters are located on the left side of the hexagon, while the women's and children's quarters are situated on the right. The annual report of 1835, which accompanied this design, emphasized the importance of separating the sexes to prevent immorality and maintain order. The design also included separate dining halls and work areas for each gender, further reinforcing the segregation. The Hexagonal workhouse design was a part of the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, which aimed to reform the existing workhouse system and provide a more efficient and effective means of poverty relief. This design, with its focus on segregation and order, was a significant departure from the older, haphazardly arranged workhouses. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of poverty relief and housing during the 19th century. The intricate layout, with its hundred rooms and careful consideration of the status of the paupers, is a testament to the legal and architectural innovations of the time. The Hexagonal workhouse design, with its hexagonal shape and segregated living quarters, remains an intriguing piece of history that continues to captivate scholars, architects, and history enthusiasts alike.
