1. Title: "A Warning for Visitors: Strict Rules at Walton Union Workhouse, Liverpool, 1919" This vintage visiting pass from the West Derby Union Workhouse at Walton in Liverpool serves as a stark reminder of the stringent regulations enforced within the institution during the early 20th century. Dated 1919, the pass warns visitors that bringing alcohol onto the premises is strictly forbidden. The consequences of disobeying this rule were severe, with the possibility of prosecution looming. The West Derby Union Workhouse was established to provide relief and shelter for the destitute, the elderly, and the infirm. Paupers, as they were often referred to, were expected to adhere to a strict regimen of work, discipline, and sobriety. Visitors, too, were subject to the rules and regulations of the workhouse, as this visiting pass illustrates. The pass bears the seal of the West Derby Union and is issued to "Mrs. A. Brown," granting her permission to visit a particular inmate. The stern warning against bringing alcohol into the workhouse is prominently displayed, emphasizing the importance of maintaining order and discipline within the institution. The passing of this visiting pass through the hands of a historian or collector today offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the social and economic conditions of the time. It also serves as a reminder of the strict regulations and rules that governed the lives of those who sought refuge in the workhouse system. This photograph of a Walton Institution Visiting Pass is an intriguing artifact from the past, providing valuable insights into the history of social welfare and the daily life of those who lived in a workhouse during the early 20th century.
