1. Title: The Infirmary at East Preston Union Workhouse, Sussex, 1918 2. Subtitle: A Glimpse into the Past: Poverty, Care, and the Victorian-Edwardian Workhouse 3. Description: This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the Infirmary at the East Preston Union Workhouse in Sussex, England, during the late Edwardian era, around 1918. The image offers a poignant snapshot of a bygone time, revealing the complex interplay of poverty, law, and care in Victorian and Edwardian society. The East Preston Union Workhouse, located on Union Road, was initially built in the 1870s to accommodate the poor and destitute. In response to the growing social and economic challenges of the time, the workhouse underwent significant expansion in 1872-73, with the addition of a new infirmary and nurses' home in 1906. The Infirmary, with its imposing facade and grand architectural details, stands as a testament to the evolving role of workhouses in providing medical care and assistance to the impoverished population. The image reveals the intricate balance between the institutional nature of the workhouse and the human need for compassionate care. The photograph also highlights the architectural evolution of the workhouse, with its Victorian and Edwardian influences, and the attention given to creating a more humane environment for its inhabitants. The Infirmary's design reflects the changing attitudes towards the care of the poor and the importance of medical care within the workhouse system. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the intricate history of social welfare and care in Britain, and the enduring legacy of the workhouse in shaping our understanding of poverty, law, and compassion.
