1. Title: Union Workhouse, Hastings, Sussex: A Historical Overview of a Victorian Institution Transformed into a World War Military Hospital 2.. This bird's-eye view print from the early 20th century showcases the Union Workhouse in Frederick Road, Hastings, Sussex. The original 1837 buildings, located at the center-right of the image, were designed by renowned architect Sampson Kempthorne. These structures served as a vital institution during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, providing shelter, care, and assistance to the impoverished and needy members of the community. Above and to the left of the center, a new workhouse was constructed in 1903. This expansion aimed to accommodate the growing population and changing needs of the time. The site's tranquil atmosphere was soon disrupted when it was transformed into a military hospital during World War I. The image reveals a fascinating blend of history, as tents are pitched next to the chapel, located at the far left of the print. These tents housed Canadian troops, who received medical care at the Union Workhouse, which had been repurposed as a military hospital in 1916. The site played a significant role during the Great War, offering essential medical services to soldiers from around the world. The Union Workhouse in Hastings, Sussex, stands as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of communities during times of crisis. From providing care for the poor during the Victorian and Edwardian eras to serving as a military hospital during World War I, this institution has left an indelible mark on the history of Hastings and Sussex. This print offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the transformation of the Union Workhouse from a Victorian institution to a World War military hospital. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of compassion, care, and resilience, especially during times of adversity.
