EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Holborn Union Infirmary in Highgate, North London, as a tram passes by in the early 1900s. The infirmary, which opened in 1879, was designed by Henry Saxon Snell and served as a vital institution for the care of the poor and destitute during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. At the time, the area around Archway Road was a bustling hub of activity, with the infirmary providing essential medical services to those in need, including the homeless and paupers. The imposing red-brick building, with its tall, Gothic-inspired tower, stands as a testament to the social and medical history of the time. The infirmary was part of the larger Holborn Union Workhouse system, established under the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, which aimed to provide a more efficient and humane approach to the care of the poor. The image of the tram passing by adds a sense of movement and progress, while also highlighting the stark contrast between the modern transportation system and the archaic workhouse system. The photograph, taken in approximately 1905, offers a glimpse into the past, shedding light on the living conditions and social issues of the time. The Holborn Union Infirmary, with its rich history and architectural significance, continues to be an important part of North London's heritage. The building, now converted into residential apartments, remains a reminder of the past and the ongoing efforts to address issues of poverty, homelessness, and access to healthcare.
