EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Bleak Institution of the Past: Exterior View of Whitechapel Workhouse Infirmary, East London, 1902 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures the exterior of the Whitechapel Workhouse Infirmary, located on Charles Street (later known as Bakers Row and now Vallance Road) in East London, during the early 1900s. The image portrays a somber and depressing scene, with the imposing workhouse standing as a stark reminder of the harsh realities of poverty and destitution that once plagued this area. The workhouse, which was established under the Poor Law of 1601, was a place of last resort for the homeless, the impoverished, and the destitute. Those who could not support themselves were forced to enter the workhouse in order to receive the meager assistance provided by the state. The exterior of the building exudes an air of bleakness, with its cold, uninviting facade, barred windows, and desolate pavement. A carriage is parked outside the entrance, hinting at the possibility of visitors or perhaps the arrival of new paupers. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the historical legislation that once governed the lives of the most vulnerable members of society. The photograph, taken in 1902, offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a valuable insight into the living conditions and societal attitudes towards poverty during this period. The Whitechapel Workhouse Infirmary, now a distant memory, stands as a testament to the enduring history of social welfare and the ongoing struggle to provide for those in need. This photograph, with its haunting imagery, invites us to reflect on the progress made in addressing poverty and homelessness, as well as the challenges that remain.
