EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Victorian Era Haven: The Union Workhouse of Liskeard, Cornwall" The Union Workhouse of Liskeard, Cornwall, also known as Lamellion House, stands proudly on Station Road, a testament to the historical past of this quaint English town. Designed by renowned architects George Gilbert Scott and William Bonython Moffatt, the workhouse was erected between 1837 and 1839, during an era when poverty and destitution were rampant, and the need for communal housing and shelter was paramount. The photograph captures a glimpse into the past, with some inmates visible in the workhouse grounds, their lives a stark contrast to the grandeur of the Victorian architectural marvel that housed them. The Union Workhouse served as a shelter for the impoverished, providing them with a roof over their heads and basic necessities in exchange for labor. The building's intricate design, reminiscent of the Gothic Revival style, boasts pointed arches, tall chimneys, and ornate carvings, making it a significant architectural landmark in the region. The site later became Lamellion Hospital, serving the community in various capacities throughout the 20th century, including as a mental health institution and a convalescent home. As we admire the beauty of this historical building, it is essential to remember the challenging circumstances that led to its creation. The Union Workhouse of Liskeard, Cornwall, is a poignant reminder of the social and economic conditions that once prevailed and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The photograph, taken in the early 1920s, offers a unique perspective into the past, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of this remarkable building while acknowledging the progress we have made in addressing poverty and providing adequate care for those in need.
