A Peek into the Past: The Grantham Company's 1900 Advertisement for Hammocks in Workhouse Wards Step back in time with us to the year 1900, as we delve into an intriguing advertisement from the Grantham Company of Carlton, showcasing their hammocks designed for use in workhouse casual wards. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, workhouses served as a last resort for those in need, providing shelter and basic necessities for the destitute, including the homeless and vagabonds. The casual wards within these institutions offered overnight accommodation for those who were unable to find work or afford housing. In this advertisement, the Grantham Company promotes their hammocks as an essential item for these workhouse wards. The text reads, "Hammocks for Casual Wards. The Grantham Company's Hammocks are recommended by the Medical Officers of Workhouses for their Casual Wards, as they are found to be the most suitable for the accommodation of Tramps and Vagrants. They are light, compact, and easily suspended, and are made of the best materials." The image accompanying the advertisement depicts a row of hammocks, neatly hung in a workhouse ward, providing a glimpse into the living conditions of those who sought refuge in these institutions. The hammocks, made of the finest materials, offered a simple yet effective solution for providing temporary shelter and comfort to the weary and needy. This advertisement serves as a poignant reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the social and historical context of the time, and the efforts made to provide for those in need. The Grantham Company's hammocks, a humble yet essential item, played a small yet significant role in the lives of countless individuals during this period.
