EDITORS COMMENTS
Welcome to the West Ham Union Infirmary, Whipps Cross, Leytonstone, Essex - a beacon of hope and healing for the sick poor in the area since its opening in 1903. This historic photograph captures the entrance to the infirmary, a grand and imposing structure that exudes a sense of comfort and care. The West Ham Infirmary, better known as Whipps Cross Hospital, was built with the intention of providing essential medical services to those in need, regardless of their ability to pay. Children in their Sunday best can be seen in the foreground, adding a touch of innocence and optimism to the scene. The infirmary's red brick facade, adorned with intricate stonework and wrought iron details, stands as a testament to the community's commitment to the health and wellbeing of its residents. The large arched entranceway invites visitors and patients alike, promising a warm welcome and a chance to begin the journey towards recovery. The West Ham Union Infirmary was a vital part of the social fabric of Leytonstone and the surrounding areas for over a century, and its legacy continues to live on in the form of Whipps Cross University Hospital, which continues to provide high-quality healthcare services to the community today. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the importance of compassion, care, and community in times of need.
