EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a moment in time when the Whitby Board of Guardians embarked on an outing to Mulgrave Castle in Yorkshire, back in 1930. The solemn faces of the guardians reflect their responsibility for overseeing the welfare and social care of those living in workhouses under their jurisdiction. Mulgrave Castle stands as a stark reminder of the housing conditions and welfare system that existed during this era. The guardians' visit to this historic site serves as a poignant symbol of their duty to provide for those less fortunate within their community. As they explore the grounds of Mulgrave Castle, one can only imagine the discussions that took place about improving living conditions and addressing social issues faced by residents in workhouses. This snapshot offers a glimpse into a time when compassion and empathy were essential components of public service. The legacy of the Whitby Board of Guardians lives on through images like these, reminding us of our collective responsibility to care for those in need. This print by Peter Higginbotham Collection is not just a historical artifact but also a testament to the enduring importance of social welfare and support systems in our society.
