EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Historic Institution of Care: Ticehurst Union Workhouse, Sussex The Ticehurst Union Workhouse, located on Union Street in the picturesque town of Ticehurst, Sussex, is a poignant reminder of the past and the evolving nature of social welfare. Erected in 1835, this historic building was designed by renowned architect Sampson Kempthorne, who also designed the Royal Free Hospital in London. Originally built as a workhouse under the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, the Ticehurst Union Workhouse was intended to provide shelter, food, and work for the destitute, the elderly, and the infirm. The building's design reflects the harsh realities of the time, with its imposing facade and austere interiors, reflecting the Victorian-era belief in the importance of discipline and hard work. Over the years, the Ticehurst Union Workhouse underwent several transformations. It later became known as Furze House or The Furzes and served as a children's home and a care home for the elderly and disabled. Today, the building stands as a testament to the history of care and welfare in the community, with its red-brick walls and intricate architectural details still standing proud. The Ticehurst Union Workhouse is an important piece of local history, reflecting the changing attitudes towards social welfare and the evolution of care homes over the centuries. Its enduring presence in the heart of Ticehurst serves as a reminder of the importance of compassion and care for those in need. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of this historic building, with its intricate architectural details and the sense of history that permeates its walls. The image offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the journey of social welfare and the enduring importance of care and compassion.
