Aerial View of Queen Mary's Children's Hospital, Carshalton, Surrey: A Historical Overview This aerial view of Queen Mary's Children's Hospital in Carshalton, Surrey, offers a glimpse into the past of this once pioneering institution for the care of children. Established in 1908 by the Metropolitan Asylums Board, the hospital was designed to accommodate up to 1000 children, making it a significant addition to the region's healthcare infrastructure. The hospital was unique in its design, featuring 24 pairs of U-shaped, single-storey cottages arranged in three echelons. This innovative layout aimed to provide a homely and nurturing environment for the children, a stark contrast to the institutional settings of the time. The hospital's opening marked a shift in the approach to children's healthcare and welfare, as it moved away from the workhouse and asylum models that had previously dominated. In the early 1900s, poverty and inadequate housing were significant issues, and the need for specialized care for children became increasingly apparent. The hospital's history is deeply rooted in the Edwardian era, and this aerial view showcases the extent of the campus, with its expansive grounds and fields surrounding the cottages. The children were encouraged to engage in outdoor activities, promoting their overall health and wellbeing. By the 1950s, Queen Mary's Children's Hospital had become a leading institution for the treatment and care of children, providing essential services to the local community. This aerial view serves as a poignant reminder of the hospital's rich history and its enduring legacy in the field of children's healthcare.
