EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the St Pancras Workhouse Infirmary, a historic building located on Cooks Terrace, Pancras Road in London. Established in 1885, the infirmary was an essential part of the St Pancras Workhouse complex, which provided shelter and support for the poor and destitute during the Victorian era. The St Pancras Workhouse Infirmary was expanded in 1885 with the addition of this building, which later became known as the South Infirmary. At that time, the workhouse system was a key component of the English Poor Law, which aimed to provide care for the needy while also enforcing a strict work ethic. The infirmary was designed to offer medical care and attention to the sick and infirm residents of the workhouse. By the early 20th century, the St Pancras Workhouse Infirmary had become overcrowded, and a new infirmary was opened at Highgate in 1912. The South Infirmary continued to serve the community as part of St Pancras Hospital, which remains an important healthcare provider in the area today. This photograph, taken in the 1880s, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the stark reality of life in a workhouse infirmary during a time of great social and economic change. The image underscores the importance of providing care and support for those in need, a value that continues to resonate in our modern society.
