EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Workhouse Infirmary in Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey, which was erected between 1897 and 1899. During the early 20th century, this imposing building served as the infirmary for the Kingston Union, providing medical care for the poor and destitute. The Union Workhouses, established under the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, were designed to offer a deterrent to poverty and provide a basic means of subsistence for those in need. The infirmary's grand Victorian architecture, with its sweeping driveway and meticulously manicured grounds, belied the harsh realities of life within its walls. During the First World War, the infirmary was repurposed to care for military casualties, providing much-needed medical attention to the wounded and the sick. In 1920, the name of the institution was changed to Kingston and District Hospital, reflecting its expanded role in the community. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the Workhouse Infirmary and its role in the provision of medical care during times of need. The building, which still stands today, continues to serve the community as a vital healthcare facility, a testament to its rich history and enduring legacy.
