EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the City of London Union Infirmary on Mile End Road, now known as St Clements Hospital, in the early 20th century. The building, which opened in 1849 as a workhouse under the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, was designed to provide shelter and care for the destitute and paupers of the City of London. The scene on the bustling street in front of the imposing Victorian and Edwardian architecture is a snapshot of daily life in the area during this period. Pedestrians, dressed in clothing typical of the era, navigate the crowded pavement, while a hand cart and a horse-drawn cart add to the hustle and bustle. The workhouse, with its grand entrance and intricate detailing, stands as a testament to the social legislation of the time, which aimed to provide a more humane alternative to the harsh conditions of the 1840s workhouses. The City of London Union Infirmary, situated where Mile End Road continues as Bow Road, was a significant institution in the East End of London, serving the community for over a century. Its history is a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those living in poverty during this period and the efforts made to address their needs through social welfare and healthcare provisions. This photograph, taken around 1910, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the historical significance of this building and the people it served. The City of London Union Infirmary, with its enduring architecture and rich history, continues to be an important part of the East End's cultural heritage.
