EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the Highgate Smallpox and Vaccination Hospital, a significant historical landmark in North London, which opened its doors in 1850. Designed by architect Samuel Daukes, the hospital was a vital institution during the Victorian era when smallpox was a prevalent and deadly disease. The hospital's primary purpose was to provide care and treatment for those afflicted by smallpox, as well as administering vaccinations to prevent its spread. By the late 1890s, medical advancements and the opening of a new smallpox hospital at South Mimms led to the acquisition of the Highgate site by Islington Council. The old hospital was converted into a workhouse infirmary, providing essential healthcare services for the impoverished community. The St Mary's wing of Whittington Hospital now stands on this site, a testament to the hospital's rich history. The photograph, taken in the late 1800s, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the grandeur of the hospital's architecture and the importance of public health care during a time when poverty and disease were significant challenges. The conversion of the Highgate Smallpox and Vaccination Hospital into a workhouse infirmary reflects the evolving needs of the community and the ongoing efforts to provide adequate healthcare for all. This photograph is an essential piece of history, showcasing the resilience and determination of the people of North London during the 1800s and the importance of healthcare and social welfare in addressing the challenges of the time.
