1. Title: "A Perspective View of the Model Hexagonal Workhouse Design by Sampson Kempthorne: A Dickensian Symbol of Poverty and Segregation in the 19th Century" This evocative perspective view of the model hexagonal workhouse design by Sampson Kempthorne, issued by the Poor Law Commissioners in 1835, offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of poverty and social welfare in the 1830s. The design, which became a blueprint for the construction of thousands of workhouses across England and Wales, was intended to enforce discipline and deter potential paupers from seeking relief. The hexagonal layout, with its segregated yards for men, women, boys, and girls, reflects the legislative mindset of the time, which sought to maintain strict gender and age segregation within the workhouse system. The annual report of the Poor Law Commissioners, published in 1834, outlined the rationale behind the design, stating that the "hexagonal form of the building has the advantage of affording ample daylight to all the apartments, and of allowing the greatest possible degree of ventilation." The perspective view also reveals the stark and austere nature of the workhouse, with its high walls and barred windows, which served to further isolate and stigmatize its inhabitants. The image transports us back to a Dickensian era, where the plight of the poor was a matter of public concern and the workhouse represented the last resort for those who had fallen on hard times. Designed by Sampson Kempthorne, the model workhouse design was a product of its time, reflecting the legal and social norms of the 19th century. The perspective view offers a unique and thought-provoking perspective on this important chapter in the history of social welfare and architecture, inviting us to reflect on the complex and often controversial legacy of the workhouse system.
