1. Title: A Historical Transformation: Whiston Hospital, Lancashire - From Workhouse to Hospital 2.. This aerial photograph captures the historic Whiston Hospital in Whiston, Lancashire, situated along Warrington Road. The site's rich history dates back to 1843 when it began as the Prescot Union workhouse. The cross-shaped building, visible to the left of the center, represents the original workhouse that once housed the poor and destitute during the Victorian era. During the 1840s, the Poor Law Amendment Act mandated the establishment of workhouses to provide shelter, food, and basic care for the homeless, the sick, and the impoverished. The workhouse system aimed to discourage idleness and encourage self-sufficiency, as inmates were subjected to harsh living conditions and forced labor. By the 1950s, the social landscape had changed significantly. The workhouse was transformed into a hospital, reflecting the evolving attitudes towards healthcare and the welfare of the population. The cross-shaped building, once a symbol of poverty and hardship, became a beacon of medical care and treatment. This photograph offers a unique perspective of Whiston Hospital's historical transformation, showcasing the architectural beauty of the past and the progression towards modern healthcare facilities. The cross-shaped building, a testament to the area's history, remains an integral part of the hospital's campus, standing proudly amidst the contemporary structures. As we appreciate the visual harmony of the past and the present, it is essential to remember the significant role that Whiston Hospital played in addressing poverty, housing, and healthcare needs within the community during the 19th and 20th centuries.
