The exact origins of the workhouse however have a much longer history. They can be traced back to the Poor Law Act of 1388.... By 1576 the law stipulated in the Poor Relief Act that if a person was able and willing, they needed to work in order to receive support. Furthermore in 1601, a further legal framework would make the parish responsible for enacting the poor relief within its geographic boundaries....People who were able to work were thus given the offer of employment in a house of correction, essentially to serve as a punishment for people who were capable of working but were unwilling. This was a system designed to deal with the “persistent idlers”. .... By 1776, a government survey was conducted on workhouses, finding that in around 1800 institutions, the total capacity numbered around 90,000 places....the 1723 Workhouses Test Act which helped to spur the growth of the system. In essence, the act would oblige anyone looking to receive poor relief to enter the workhouse and proceed to work for a set amount of time, regularly, for no pay, in a system called indoor relief. ... in 1782 Thomas Gilbert introduced a new act called Relief of the Poor but more commonly known by his name, which was set up to allow parishes to join together to form unions in order to share the costs. These became known as Gilbert Unions and by creating larger groups it was intended to allow for the maintenance of larger workhouses....(1930 workhouses were officially closed...)...In 1948 with the introduction of the National Assistance Act the last remnants of the Poor Laws were eradicated and with them, the workhouse institution.

https://www.lexico.com/definition/capital_sin

In scholastic thought, and traditional Christian moral theology originating from this: each of the seven major categories of transgression (sometimes also called the deadly sins or cardinal sins), understood as being the root of all other sins; a sin belonging to one of these categories. Hence also: any major sin. Compare "capital", capital vice .

The capital sins (or vices) are usually enumerated as pride, avarice, lust, envy, gluttony, anger, and sloth, understood as types of sin, irrespective of the gravity of their commission in any particular case.

Plans to convert a historical workhouse and hospital into homes will be "one of the most important decisions the planning committee ever makes," a councillor has claimed.

Peabody is consulting the community on plans to build 290 homes, 50 per cent of which will be "affordable", on former Whittington Hospital land in Archway Road which it acquired in 2014.

But, in a time before the NHS and social security, this site was a workhouse and infirmary for some of the most vulnerable people in Victorian society.

Esteemed architect Saxon Snell designed the Holborn Union Infirmary, which included a workhouse and care facilities and was built between 1877 and 1885. Holborn Poor Law Union, founded in 1836, commissioned the site, which included a main building and two wings for patients, plus a workshop building and laundry area, all designed in the decorative Gothic Revival style.

Peabody has committed to keeping "original Saxon Snell hospital buildings", which include the main Holborn Union building, the Charterhouse and Clerkenwell wings either side of it, and the perimeter Victorian boundary wall. But it wants to bulldoze other buildings on site deemed "unsuitable" and build blocks of flats around it.

Cllr Dave Poyser (Lab, Hillrise), a Whitehall Park Area Residents' Association committee member, told the Gazette he's generally supportive of Peabody's plans - but stressed any changes to the site's appearance must be carefully considered.

He told the Gazette: "The important thing is, every time people come into London [down the A1] for the next 100 years, they are going to see it.

"It's one of the most important decisions the planning committee will ever make. People know the Archway bridge because they drive under it - it's like the Angel of the North - so you will drive past [the Archway Campus] and either hate or love it."

He added: "We are pleased Peabody have come up with some plans and we hope local people like it. It's wonderful the way they have preserved the building."

A new "poor law" was introduced in 1834 to reduce the costs of looking after impoverished people and take homeless people off the street.

Workhouse inmates would be clothed and fed, with children getting limited access to education The Holborn Union Infirmary, which is now has its own conservation area, included long, airy "Nightingale" wards with windows either side to create a through-draught. This design was influenced by the works of Florence Nightingale, who, in her 1860 Notes on Nursing, wrote: "Always air from the air without, and that, too, through those windows through which the air comes freshest. From a closed court, especially if the wind do not blow that way, air may come as stagnant as any from a hall or corridor."

Clerkenwell and Islington Guide Oonagh Gay takes groups around Archway and talks them through the history of the workhouses that once operated in the area.

"A number of unions, including Holborn, brought up land around Archway because it was cheap.

"Because land was cheap they could sort of export the problem - Holborn is nowhere near Islington but they could build easily there. It's a bit like some councils shipping homeless people to places like Northamptonshire today.

"They would have been reasonably grim places but not awful because people couldn't work and they tried to contain diseases there."

Addressing Archway more generally, she added: "It's a very mixed area. It's not the most striking part of London but I think it's a very visible reminder of a very important part of our history. If you dig into most peoples families, particularly working class Irish families, you'll find someone was in a workhouse - one in 45 people were in workhouses during the 1860s. People did all they could to keep out of the workhouse because it was a punitive environment, but there wasn't social security - so if you had nothing there was no alternative. But, on the positive side, at least they built good buildings for sick people."

The Archway Road infirmary was renamed the Holborn and Finsbury Hospital in 1921, before the London County Council renamed it Archway Hospital in 1930.

When the NHS was founded the site was merged with St Mary's Hospital, in Highgate Hill, and Highgate Hospital, in Dartmouth Park Hill, to create the Whittington Hospital.

We love learning about Islington in times long gone, but what about areas where heritage is vanishing before our eyes? Sam Gelder visits Archway.

Anyone who's been to Archway in the last few years may have noticed it's been absolute chaos.

Scaffolding everywhere, roads closed, businesses going under and entering a shop becoming a skill in itself thanks to all the construction hoarding. It's become an area full of doom and gloom.

Of course, it has been changing for more than 100 years, since people travelled by tramcars and the Archway Tavern was not only open but thriving.

But with so many developments taking place at once, many fear the area is in danger of losing its working-class heritage completely.

The hoardings surrounding the station came down a couple of weeks ago, and the Archway Tower is finally showing signs of life having lain vacant for four years.

Developers have transformed the ugly, 17-storey office block into flats that will boast a winter garden, roof terrace and "club room".

Prospective tenants being shown around the apartments this month will no doubt be told of TfL's £12.8million plans for the gyratory: "Out the window to your left you will soon see a lovely pedestrianised and cycle-friendly square." They probably won't mention the 18 months of traffic chaos.

There was one casualty of the station construction work. Cafe Metro had to close six months ago, though the owner hopes to be back soon. Another shopkeeper told the Gazette now the hoardings were off, TfL had told them to expect a rate increase of "about 50 per cent".

"Everyone here has been affected by this scaffolding," he said. "We had no help - no reduced rates, nothing. We've lost about 50 per cent of business and what are the benefits? We haven't seen any yet. Let's see in 2017 when it's all finished."

The man, who did not want to be named for fear of angering TfL, said Archway was not the place he used to know and pointed to the iconic pub The Lion opposite the station, which closed in 2014 and is now, you guessed it, a Starbucks.

He added: "We used to have a strong Irish community here with all the pubs, now they have all closed. We used to have five banks. Gone. Will all this change benefit the residents of Archway? Or are they trying to get rid of them?"

Next in line for development is the Archway Mall and the Hill House tower block above it. The big lump of concrete is being developed into more flats by Bode.

More than 100 people turned up to a meeting with bosses in June to hear the latest on the plans. A spokeswoman for Bode said the company project would address issues raised by neighbours - including "poor design" and the "neglected unwelcoming areas".

Some apartments will be affordable housing, though Bode have not said how many, while the development also promises to create green space on the old car park. The mall redevelopment will also bring new business to the area, but mystery surrounds the future of the Crown Post Office.

Kate Calvert, chairman of the Better Archway Forum, fears it could close, and said Bode reps at the meeting suggested it could be moved to the first-floor of a new block.

A Bode spokeswoman told the Gazette they wanted to keep the service. She said: "Ultimately, this is the decision for the Post Office but we hope they will choose to stay on our site. No decision has been made about its specific location."

Centred around Refugee Week 2020's theme of 'imagine', readers are invited to jump back in time to imagine the various situations faced by refugees and economic migrants that came to Islington. Presented by Islington Museum and Cally Clock Tower, in conjunction with Islington Guided Walks, Islington as a Place of Refuge is an online guided tour of sites in Islington that tell diverse stories from migrant history.

Whether it be to escape war, persecution or economic hardships, many refugee communities have come to Islington and found a base to start new lives, grow their livelihoods and fight injustice. To celebrate the rich diversity found within our borough, we explore the reasons why people have settled in Islington and the valuable contributions migrants have made to our borough. This online tour also highlights the struggles and discrimination some have faced upon arrival in Britain, demonstrating the difficulties many endure upon migration to a new country. Islington as a Place of Refuge investigates the plight of Hungarian and South African political refugees, German Jewish refugees, West Indian, Italian and Irish economic migration, and Somali war refugees.

Refugee Week (15-21 June) is a UK-wide festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees, through a programme of arts, cultural and educational events alongside media and creative campaigns. This year we are being asked to explore the theme of 'Imagine'. Because when things feel stuck; when the old ways of doing things are no longer working, that's what we need to do. Find out more about Refugee Week.

Islington is home to over 200,000 people, many of whom originally come from different corners of the globe. The stories represented in Islington as a Place of Refuge for Refugee Week 2020 have particular links to the Holloway area. Many more stories, documents and objects relating to migrant history can be found in Islington Museum and Local History Centre.

Caxton House Community Centre

129 St. John's Way, Islington

London N19 3RQ

There was enough open land in the surrounding area for other institutions - such as the Aged Pilgrims Asylum (now Hillside Park, Hillside Estate, and Louise White House) and the Alexandra Orphanage (now Welby, Goldie and Ritchie council blocks). The Whittington College almshouses were where Miranda Estate now stands.

In the early 1900s, St John's Way passed through what was still a fairly open rural space. It was therefore an ideal place to build a large workhouse: a place for the poor, physically and mentally disabled, and morally 'destitute' - the latter often a euphemism for single mothers - to be cared for and housed, in exchange for work on the premises......

Caxton House Community Centre, then, has its roots in the Caxton Settlement Movement, and does its best to help local residents, particularly those living in social housing in the area try to manage their environment and community through ongoing committees, groups and other initiatives.

why so much council housing?
- bombs trying to reach the parachute factory
- house clearance
- land is cheap
- islington - huge need to migrant populations coming into area?

It is a sad fact of local community history, that lack of attention from private landlords to

much of the predominant Victorian housing, bomb damage from the second world war, and

a strong sense of a 'new broom' for the new civilised post-war society Britain was trying

to build, eventually led to Islington Council, like many metropolitan councils, largely

'clearing' and completely reconstructing much of the local area of N19.

The "Mother Red Cap," observes Mr. J. T. Smith, in his "Book for a Rainy Day," was in former times a house of no small terror to travellers. "It has been stated," he adds, "that 'Mother Red Cap' was the 'Mother Damnable' of Kentish Town in early days, and that it was at her house that the notorious 'Moll Cut-purse,' the highway woman of Oliver Cromwell's days, dismounted, and frequently lodged."

"The occasion of this arose principally from Jinney being reputed a practiser of the black art—a very witch. She was resorted to by numbers as a fortune-teller and healer of strange diseases; and when any mishap occurred, then the old crone was set upon by the mob and hooted without mercy. The old, ill-favoured creature would at such times lean out of her hatch-door, with a grotesque red cap on her head. She had a large broad nose, heavy shaggy eyebrows, sunken eyes, and lank and leathern cheeks; her forehead wrinkled, her mouth wide, and her looks sullen and unmoved. On her shoulders was thrown a dark grey striped frieze, with black patches, which looked at a distance like flying bats. Suddenly she would let her huge black cat jump upon the hatch by her side, when the mob instantly retreated from a superstitious dread of the double foe.

For instance, the four pedestrian pathways feature different types of plants and trees to break up any visual monotony and assist with wayfinding through the use of natural landmarks. Play areas are incorporated throughout the grounds of the Estate.

The six-stepped terraces project strong horizontal lines while bringing in natural lighting to each maisonette or flat - each of the 271 units with its own private, south-facing balcony or courtyard.

Kitchens face out to the pedestrian paths and play areas and interiors are airy and flexible. Partitions and panels slide up and across to open or close walls.

who is Philip Noel-Baker?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Noel-Baker

Philip John Noel-Baker, Baron Noel-Baker, PC (1 November 1889 – 8 October 1982), was a British politician, diplomat, academic, amateur athlete, and renowned campaigner for disarmament. He won a silver medal for the 1500m at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, and received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1959.[1]

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Philip John Noel-Baker, Baron Noel-Baker, (1 November 1889 - 8 October 1982), born Philip John Baker, was a British politician, diplomat, academic, amateur athlete, and renowned campaigner for disarmament. He carried the British team flag and won a silver medal for the 1500m at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, and received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1959.

Noel-Baker is the only person to have won an Olympic medal and received a Nobel Prize. He was a Labour member of parliament from 1929 to 1931 and from 1936 to 1970, serving in several ministerial offices and the cabinet. He became a life peer in 1977.

Baker was born in Brondesbury Park, London, the sixth of seven children of the Canadian-born Quaker, Joseph Allen Baker and the Scottish-born Elizabeth Balmer Moscrip. His father had moved to England in 1876 to establish a manufacturing business and served as a Progressive member of the London County Council from 1895 to 1906 and as a Liberal member of the House of Commons for East Finsbury from 1905 to 1918.

Baker was educated at Ackworth School, Bootham School, and then in the US at the Quaker-associated Haverford College in Pennsylvania. He studied at King's College, Cambridge, from 1908 to 1912. As well as being an excellent student, obtaining a second in Part I history and a first in Part II economics, he was President of the Cambridge Union Society in 1912 and President of the Cambridge University Athletic Club from 1910 to 1912.

He was a competitor in the Olympic Games as a middle-distance runner, both before and after the First World War, representing Great Britain in the 800 metres and 1500 metres at the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm. He reached the final of the 1500 metres, won by his fellow countryman Arnold Jackson. At the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp Baker was captain of the British track team and carried the team's flag. He won his first race in the 800 metres, but then concentrated on the 1500 metres, taking the silver medal behind his teammate Albert Hill. He was captain again at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, but did not compete.

Baker's early career was as an academic. In 1914 he was appointed as vice-principal of Ruskin College, Oxford, and in 1915 was elected a fellow at King's College, Cambridge. During World War I, he organised and led the Friends' Ambulance Unit attached to the fighting front in France (1914-1915), and was then, as a conscientious objector from 1916, adjutant of the First British Ambulance Unit for Italy, in association with the British Red Cross (1915-1918), for which he received military medals from the UK, France and Italy.

After World War I, Noel-Baker was closely involved in the formation of the League of Nations, serving as assistant to Lord Robert Cecil, then assistant to Sir Eric Drummond, the league's first secretary-general. He became the first Sir Ernest Cassel Professor of International Relations at the University of London from 1924 to 1929 and a lecturer at Yale University from 1933 to 1934. His political career with the Labour Party began in 1924 when he stood, unsuccessfully, for Parliament in the Conservative safe seat of Birmingham Handsworth. He was elected as the member for Coventry in 1929, and served as parliamentary private secretary to the Foreign Secretary Arthur Henderson.

Noel-Baker lost his seat in 1931, but remained Henderson's assistant while Henderson was president of the World Disarmament Conference in Geneva in 1932 to 1933. He stood for Parliament again in Coventry in 1935, unsuccessfully, but won the Derby by-election in July 1936 after the sitting Derby Member of Parliament J. H. Thomas resigned. When that constituency was split in 1950, he transferred to Derby South.

Noel-Baker became a member of the Labour Party's National Executive Committee in 1937. On 21 June 1938, Noel-Baker, as M.P. for Derby, in the run up to World War II, spoke at the House of Commons against aerial bombing of German cities based on moral grounds. "The only way to prevent atrocities from the air is to abolish air warfare and national air forces altogether."

In the coalition government during the World War II he was a parliamentary secretary at the Ministry of War Transport from February 1942, and served as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs after Labour gained power following the 1945 general election, but had a poor relationship with the Foreign Secretary, Ernest Bevin. Noel-Baker moved to become Secretary of State for Air in October 1946, and then became Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations in 1947 and joined the cabinet.

Noel-Baker was the minister responsible for organising the 1948 Olympic Games in London. He moved to the Ministry of Fuel and Power in 1950. In the mid-1940s, Noel-Baker served on the British delegation to what became the United Nations, helping to draft its charter and other rules for operation as a British delegate. He served as Chairman of the Labour Party in 1946-47, but lost his place on the National Executive Committee in 1948, his place being taken by Michael Foot. An opponent of left-wing Bevanite policies in the 1950s, and an advocate of multilateral nuclear disarmament, rather than a policy of unilateral disarmament, he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1959. In 1979, with Fenner Brockway, he co-founded the World Disarmament Campaign, serving as co-Chair until he died, and was an active supporter of disarmament into the 1980s.

Noel-Baker stood down as the MP for Derby South at the 1970 general election, at which he was succeeded by Walter Johnson. His life peerage was announced in the 1977 Silver Jubilee and Birthday Honours and he was raised to the peerage 22 July 1977, as Baron Noel-Baker, of the City of Derby, having declined an appointment as a Companion of Honour in the 1965 New Year Honours. He was president of the International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education from 1960 to 1976.

A memorial garden, the Philip Noel-Baker Peace Garden, exists within Elthorne Park, a small park in the London Borough of Islington.

In June 1915, Philip Baker married Irene Noel, a field hospital nurse in East Grinstead, subsequently adopting the hyphenated name Noel-Baker in 1921 by deed poll. His wife was a friend of Virginia Woolf. Their only son, Francis Noel-Baker, also became a Labour MP and served together with his father in the Commons. Their marriage, however was not a success and Noel-Baker's mistress from 1936 was Megan Lloyd George, daughter of the former Liberal Party leader David Lloyd George, herself a Liberal and later Labour MP. The relationship ended when Irene died in 1956.

Following Noel-Baker's death in Westminster, aged 92, he was buried alongside his wife in Heyshott, West Sussex.
