EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Oxford Incorporation Workhouse, located on Cowley Road in Oxford. Designed by architect William Fisher and opened in 1865, the imposing Victorian building was originally established to provide shelter and relief for the city's destitute and poor. The Workhouse system, a mandatory part of the English Poor Law, was intended to discourage idleness and encourage self-sufficiency through harsh living conditions. During the tumultuous period of the First World War, the site was repurposed as a military hospital, providing essential medical care for the wounded soldiers. The red cross emblem displayed prominently on the building is a testament to its wartime role. Post-war, the Oxford Incorporation Workhouse transitioned into Cowley Road Hospital, offering much-needed healthcare services to the local community. The aerial view of the site, with its sprawling grounds and grand architecture, offers a unique perspective on the rich history of this remarkable building. The Oxford Incorporation Workhouse stands as a poignant reminder of the past, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a symbol of the evolving nature of care and treatment in the 19th and 20th centuries. The intricate details of the Victorian architecture, the lush greenery, and the historical significance of the site make this a truly captivating image.
