EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Exeter Union Workhouse Children's Home on Gladstone Road during the First World War era. The building, erected between 1913 and 1914, initially served as a military hospital immediately upon completion. The Red Cross flag flying high above the gates is a poignant symbol of care and compassion during a time of great need. The military construction in the foreground suggests the ongoing efforts to provide medical aid and shelter to the wounded soldiers returning from the battlefields. The Exeter Union Workhouse, a historical institution established to provide housing and assistance to the city's paupers, took on a new role during the war. The children's home attached to the workhouse offered refuge to those most vulnerable during these challenging times. The windows of the building peek out from behind the military structures, a reminder of the ongoing need for housing and care for the city's impoverished population. The 1910s were a period of significant change and hardship, with the ongoing poverty and the onset of the First World War. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the adaptability and resilience of the community in the face of adversity. The Union Workhouse Children's Home, like many institutions of the time, transformed to meet the needs of the moment, providing a crucial service to the wounded soldiers and the city's most vulnerable residents.
