EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Union Infirmary in Willesden, North West London, as it stood in the early 20th century. Erected between 1900 and 1901 on Acton Lane, the imposing building served as the infirmary for the Willesden Union Workhouse. During this period, workhouses were institutions established to provide relief for the poor, the sick, and the destitute. The infirmary was an essential part of the workhouse complex, providing medical care for those in need. The Union Infirmary was later renamed Park Royal Hospital and eventually became the Central Middlesex Hospital in 1948. Its history reflects the evolving nature of healthcare and social welfare in London during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The building's Gothic Revival architecture, with its pointed arches, red brick facade, and tall chimneys, is characteristic of the period. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the stark reality of life in a workhouse infirmary. Patients can be seen lying on beds in the ward, some with blankets covering them, while others sit up, looking out of the windows. The contrast between the dark, cramped interior and the bright, sunlit exterior underscores the stark contrast between the comforts of the outside world and the harsh conditions inside the workhouse. Despite the challenges faced by those who lived and worked in the Union Infirmary, the building stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit. Its history serves as a reminder of the importance of providing care and support for those in need, a legacy that continues to inspire and inform healthcare and social welfare services today.
