EDITORS COMMENTS

This evocative photograph captures the entrance of Bakewell Union Workhouse, located in Newholme, Derbyshire, around 1915. Designed by Mr. Johnson of Sheffield and erected between 1840 and 1841, this historic building served as a vital institution during the Victorian and Edwardian eras when poverty and destitution were rampant. The workhouse system, established under the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, aimed to provide shelter, food, and limited medical care for the impoverished, in exchange for hard labor. In this image, a porter and two other men stand at the entrance, ready to welcome or oversee the arrival of paupers. A third man is seen near a wheelbarrow, perhaps preparing for the transportation of supplies or goods within the workhouse grounds. The building's imposing architecture, with its high arches, intricate stonework, and expansive garden, speaks to the institutional nature of the workhouse, a place that was both a symbol of the law's provision for the poor and a reminder of their status as wards of the state. As time passed, the Bakewell Union Workhouse evolved into Newholme Hospital, reflecting the changing social and medical landscape of the early 20th century. The wheelbarrow and the porter's presence, however, serve as poignant reminders of the institution's Dickensian past, a time when the needs of the poor were addressed through a combination of legislation, architecture, and the compassionate care of dedicated individuals.
