EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical document is a poignant reminder of the social welfare system in place during the early 20th century, as evidenced by the Ecclesall Bierlow Union Claim for Inmate Maintenance. Dated 1903, this claim was issued to the executors of the estate of William Alcock, requesting reimbursement for the cost of maintaining his relative, Thomas Hill, in the union workhouse for nearly four years. The Ecclesall Bierlow Union, located in Sheffield, England, was established to provide relief and assistance to the needy and destitute members of the community. The Union's responsibilities included providing food, shelter, and other essential services to those who were unable to support themselves. Thomas Hill, presumably a relative of William Alcock, was among those who required the Union's assistance. The claim states that he was admitted to the workhouse on March 1, 1899, and remained there until his death on December 23, 1902. During his stay, the Union incurred significant expenses in maintaining him, including medical care, clothing, and board. The Union's claim, addressed to the executors of William Alcock's estate, requests reimbursement for the total amount of £115 1s 6d (approximately £11,775 in today's currency). This amount covered the costs incurred during Thomas Hill's stay at the workhouse, including the final expenses related to his burial. This document offers a glimpse into the social and economic realities of the time, highlighting the importance of community support and the role of welfare institutions in providing for those in need. The Ecclesall Bierlow Union Claim for Inmate Maintenance is a poignant reminder of the human stories that lie behind historical records and the enduring importance of social welfare systems.
