EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1843, offering a glimpse into the House of Refuge for the Destitute Poor of the Ecclesall Bierlow Union, later known as Nether Edge Hospital. The drawing, skillfully crafted by architect William Flockton in 1842 and lithographed by W. Monkhouse from York, showcases this historical landmark situated in Sheffield, Yorkshire. The House of Refuge stands tall and proud against its surroundings, exuding an air of resilience and compassion. Its grand architecture speaks volumes about its purpose - to provide solace and shelter for those who found themselves destitute and without means during challenging times. As we delve deeper into this image, we can imagine the countless lives that were touched within these walls. The hospital served as a sanctuary for individuals seeking refuge from poverty's clutches; it offered hope where there was none before. Preserved with care at Sheffield Libraries under reference ov00164, this original piece serves as a testament to both architectural brilliance and social responsibility. It reminds us of our collective duty to support those less fortunate than ourselves. Let this photograph be a reminder that even amidst adversity, humanity has always strived to extend a helping hand towards those in need. May it inspire us all to continue building compassionate communities where no one is left behind or forgotten.
