EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exterior of the New Workhouse, situated in Upper Holloway, London, in the year 1870. The workhouse, commissioned by the parish of St. Mary, Islington, was intended to provide shelter and relief for the destitute and the poor in accordance with the English Poor Law. Spanning approximately seven acres and three quarters of land, the grand edifice was a testament to the architectural prowess of the 19th century. The New Workhouse, a symbol of Victorian-era social welfare, was designed to house, feed, and provide employment to the needy, with the ultimate goal of promoting self-sufficiency and independence. The image reveals the imposing structure, with its symmetrical design, red brick facade, and tall, arched windows. The building's intricate details, such as the decorative cornices and the ornate chimneys, speak to the meticulous planning and execution of the architects of the time. The New Workhouse in Upper Holloway was a significant addition to the urban landscape of West London, reflecting the societal values and architectural trends of the 1870s. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insight into the history of social welfare and the architectural legacy of the Victorian era.
