EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: Union Workhouse, Rugby, Warwickshire, 1914 2.. This evocative photograph, taken in 1914, offers a poignant glimpse into the history of the Union Workhouse in Rugby, Warwickshire. The image, captured from the Guardians Board Room, reveals the main workhouse building, located to the right of centre, and the vagrants casual ward to the left. The site later became St Luke's Hospital. 3. The Union Workhouse, established to provide shelter, food, and work for the destitute, was a stark reminder of the harsh realities of poverty in early 20th-century England. The photo showcases the imposing main building, its ivy-covered walls and overgrown gardens a stark contrast to the orderly lines of the casual ward. 4. The path leading to the main entrance of the workhouse is flanked by trees and shrubs, hinting at a sense of isolation and separation from the outside world. The Guardians Board Room, where the photograph was taken, would have been the scene of important decisions regarding the care and management of the workhouse's residents. 5. The casual ward, located to the left of the main building, was designed to house able-bodied vagrants who were required to work in exchange for their meals and shelter. The image reveals a cluster of buildings, their windows looking out onto a small, overgrown garden. 6. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the Union Workhouse in Rugby and the vital role it played in providing care for the poor and destitute during a time of great need. Today, the site stands as St Luke's Hospital, a testament to the enduring legacy of this important piece of local history.
