EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1931, showcases the impressive main building of Shrewsbury School, located in Shrewsbury, England. The historic edifice was originally constructed in 1784 as the Shrewsbury Incorporation Workhouse, a facility designed to provide shelter and assistance to the local pauper population. For over 87 years, the workhouse served its purpose, but in 1871, its operations came to an end. Seven years later, in 1882, the school took over the vacant building, transforming it into a prestigious educational institution. The grand architecture of the building, with its imposing gates, red-brick facade, and expansive grounds, reflects the school's rich history and tradition. The image captures a glimpse into the past, offering a fascinating insight into the transformation of the building from a place of assistance for the needy to a beacon of learning and academic excellence. The photograph, part of the WHS Derwent Series from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the enduring history of Shrewsbury School and the remarkable journey of its iconic main building.
