EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1970s, a woman in a blue overall jumpsuit engages in a spirited game of chess with three patients in a ward at the Metropolitan Police Medical Centre in Hendon, north west London. The scene exudes a sense of warmth and camaraderie, as the players concentrate intently on the board, oblivious to the world around them. The patients, dressed in hospital gowns and pyjamas, each occupy their own bed, their expressions reflecting a mix of focus and relaxation. One patient watches the game with obvious interest, while another seems lost in thought, his gaze fixed on the chessboard. A third patient, with a transistor radio by his bedside, appears to be enjoying a moment of respite from the rigors of treatment. The ward is adorned with a few personal touches, including a portable television on a stand, a stack of paperback books on a windowsill, and a cassette tape player on a nearby table. A curtain partially obscures the view of the ward beyond, adding to the sense of intimacy and privacy. The woman, who wears a police badge on her overalls, is likely a nurse or volunteer at the centre. Her presence, along with the uniforms of the police officers in the background, underscores the medical centre's connection to the Metropolitan Police Force. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when hospital wards were more homely and patients received care in a more personal and compassionate way. The simple pleasure of a game of chess becomes a source of joy and connection, reminding us of the importance of human interaction and the power of small moments to brighten the day for those in need of care and support.
