EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the imposing presence of Hertford Union Workhouse, located on Ware Road in Hertford, Hertfordshire, which opened its doors around 1869. The three-storey building, with its clock tower at its centre, stands as a testament to a bygone era, a time when the Poor Laws of the 1830s and 1860s governed the lives of the destitute. The image transports us back in time, with the clock tower striking the hour as cyclists make their way along the road in front of the building. The addition of the cyclists, painted into the scene to add interest, provides a sense of contrast between the past and the present. The Union Workhouse was designed to house and provide for the poor, the homeless, and the destitute, who were often forced to enter the workhouse due to legislation that made it a condition of receiving relief. The building's architecture reflects the Victorian and Edwardian eras, with its grandiose design and imposing gate. Children and adults, paupers and the homeless, would have lived in the workhouse, separated by gender and age. Life inside was often harsh, with long hours of labor and meager rations. The building's towering structure and austere appearance serve as a reminder of the hardships and challenges faced by those who lived in poverty during this period. The photograph, taken in 1912, provides a glimpse into the history of Hertford and its social welfare system. The Union Workhouse, now a listed building, stands as a reminder of the past and a reminder of the importance of social welfare and support for those in need.
