1. Title: "Strict Enforcement of Workhouse Rules: A Reverse Glance at Walton Institution's Visiting Pass (1919)" This evocative reverse side of a visiting pass from the West Derby Union workhouse at Walton, Liverpool, serves as a stark reminder of the stringent rules enforced within the institution during the early 20th century. Dated 1919, the pass warns visitors that bringing alcohol onto the premises is absolutely forbidden, and the potential consequences of disobeying this rule are severe. The West Derby Union, located in Walton, Liverpool, was a workhouse established to provide shelter, food, and basic care for the destitute, the elderly, and the infirm. The institution aimed to instill discipline and self-reliance in its inmates, and the presence of this warning on the visiting pass underscores the importance the administration placed on maintaining order and upholding moral values. Visitors were expected to adhere to these rules not only for the sake of the institution but also for the welfare of the inmates. Alcohol was believed to contribute to the very conditions that led individuals to seek refuge in the workhouse, and its presence could hinder the rehabilitative process. The stern warning on the reverse side of the visiting pass is a poignant testament to the societal norms and values of the time, as well as the challenges faced by those who sought assistance from institutions like the West Derby Union. The pass offers a glimpse into the past, shedding light on the intricacies of the workhouse system and the lengths to which authorities went to ensure the well-being of their charges.
