EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Union Workhouse Hospital in Ashton under Lyne, Lancashire, built in 1906 as an extension to the existing workhouse. The hospital was established to provide medical treatment for the impoverished residents of the workhouse during a time when the poor law system was the primary means of social welfare in the UK. The Edwardian-era building, now known as Tameside Hospital, stands proudly against the backdrop of the River Tame. Its imposing architecture, with its red-brick facade and tall, arched windows, reflects the institutional nature of the workhouse system, which aimed to deter dependency and encourage self-sufficiency. The hospital was designed to accommodate the sick and infirm, providing a level of care that was not readily available to the poor outside of the workhouse. The water from the river was used to supply the hospital, reflecting the importance of water in medical treatment during this period. The history of the Union Workhouse Hospital in Ashton under Lyne is a poignant reminder of the social and economic conditions that existed in the UK during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The building, which has since been transformed into a modern hospital, stands as a testament to the evolution of healthcare and social welfare in the region. The photograph, taken in the 1920s, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a historical record of a time when the provision of medical care was closely linked to poverty and the workhouse system. The image invites us to reflect on the progress that has been made in healthcare and social welfare over the past century, while also acknowledging the challenges that continue to exist in providing equitable access to healthcare for all.
