EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures a distant view of the Blandford Union Workhouse in Blandford Forum, Dorset, dating back to 1905. Designed by Christopher Creeke and built in 1856-7, this imposing structure served as a place of refuge for the homeless and impoverished during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
In the foreground, a house with a sign reading YNCA (or YMCA?) stands out against the backdrop of the workhouse. The scene is set on Salisbury Road, where pedestrians walk along the pavement, highlighting the stark contrast between those seeking shelter and those fortunate enough to have homes.
The image evokes a sense of history and social legislation surrounding poverty in early 20th century England. The workhouse symbolizes a time when paupers were forced into institutions like these due to lack of housing or financial means.
As we reflect on this snapshot from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of how far society has come in terms of caring for its most vulnerable members. The legacy of Christopher Creeke's design lives on through this powerful visual representation of hardship and resilience in Blandford Forum.
