EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical document, the Bradfield parish report of 1819. Titled "A report on the parochial concerns of Bradfield" this committee-appointed report sheds light on the management and affairs of the township during 1818-1819. The photograph showcases an original copy from Sheffield Libraries, bearing reference number y13778. Of particular note within this comprehensive report is its mention of the poor house in Bradfield. Shockingly, it reveals that the discipline and management at this institution were deemed "most disgraceful". This revelation offers a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by those residing in poverty during that era. Preserved within Sheffield City Archives, this print serves as a valuable resource for researchers and history enthusiasts alike. It provides insight into local governance practices, social welfare systems such as poor laws, and workhouse operations prevalent in Yorkshire during the early 19th century. It is important to note that this image should not be associated with any commercial use or misrepresentation. Instead, let us appreciate it for its historical significance and acknowledge Sheffield Libraries' efforts to preserve our collective heritage.
