EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Tooting Military Hospital in Surrey, located on Church Lane in Tooting Graveney. The building, now a symbol of wartime medical history, once served as St. Joseph's Roman Catholic College in the late 1800s. In 1897, the Wandsworth Union took over the site, transforming it into the Tooting Home, a housing facility for the deserving elderly and infirm. As the 20th century progressed, the building's purpose evolved once again. During World War One, it became St. Benedict's Hospital, providing medical care for the army. The Victorian structure, with its grand facade and red-tiled roof, stands as a testament to the historical significance of this site. The image transports us back to a time when poverty and age were more visible in society, and the needs of the deserving poor were met through the efforts of the Union. The hospital's transformation into a military institution during the Great War underscores the sacrifices made by the community during this period. The photograph, taken in 1916, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the rich history of this building and the role it played in the education, health, and care of the community during the 1890s, World War One, and beyond. The Tooting Military Hospital in Tooting Graveney, Surrey, remains an important piece of local and national history.
