EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the City of London Infirmary on Bow Road in East London, as it appeared in the early 1900s. The imposing building, now St Clements Hospital, opened in 1849 as the City of London Union Workhouse. At the time, it served as a place of last resort for the impoverished and destitute, providing shelter, food, and basic medical care for those in need. The image shows the infirmary's grand facade, with its ornate Victorian and Edwardian architectural details, standing proudly against the backdrop of the bustling street. Horse-drawn trams and wagons fill the road, adding to the sense of activity and movement. The pavement is crowded with people, some of whom appear to be seeking medical attention, while others go about their daily business. The City of London Union Infirmary was a product of its time, reflecting the social and economic conditions of the 1840s and 1850s, when poverty and disease were rampant in the city. The infirmary's primary function was to provide relief for the poor, who were often unable to afford medical care or housing. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horse-drawn vehicles were the norm, and medical care was a luxury that was not readily available to all. The image also highlights the importance of community and the role that institutions like the City of London Union Infirmary played in providing essential services to those in need. This photograph, taken in 1907, is a valuable historical record of a bygone era, and a reminder of the progress that has been made in healthcare and social welfare over the past century.
