EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Union Workhouse Infirmary on Healds Road at Staincliffe, West Yorkshire, a poignant reminder of a bygone era in the history of social welfare and healthcare. The workhouse, which opened around 1856, was established during the Victorian era when the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 mandated the creation of workhouses to provide for the destitute and the infirm. The large infirmary, erected in 1895, reflects the growing need for medical care and facilities within these institutions. During the First World War, the infirmary was repurposed as a military hospital, providing essential medical care to wounded soldiers. The red cross emblem displayed on the building is a testament to its role in the war effort. The site later became known as Staincliffe Hospital and then Dewsbury and District Hospital, continuing to serve the community as a vital healthcare facility. The photograph, taken in the 1890s or 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the grandeur and scale of the infirmary, as well as the somber reality of life within a workhouse during the 1850s and 1890s. The Union Workhouse Infirmary at Staincliffe stands as a significant historical landmark, bearing witness to the evolution of social welfare and healthcare in West Yorkshire.
