EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Haven of Care and Compassion: The Infirmary at Greenwich Union Workhouse, Vanbrugh Hill This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in time, showcasing the infirmary at the Greenwich Union Workhouse located on Vanbrugh Hill in southeast London. The image, taken in the 1930s, reveals the neoclassical architecture of the building, with its distinctive turrets and intricate details. The sign on the front of the nearest building reads "Calvert Road," indicating the entrance to this historic institution. The Greenwich Union Workhouse was established in 1876 and underwent an expansion a decade later to accommodate the growing needs of the community. During this period, the infirmary played a crucial role in providing medical treatment and shelter for the homeless, the poor, and the destitute. The site later became known as Greenwich and Deptford Hospital and, later still, as St. Alfege Hospital. The infirmary's architecture is a testament to the Victorian era's commitment to providing care and support for those in need. Its grand design, with its turreted facade and imposing presence, belies the compassionate services it offered. The building's historical significance lies not only in its architectural merit but also in its role as a symbol of the community's collective responsibility towards the less fortunate. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the resilience and determination of those who sought refuge in the Greenwich Union Workhouse during the harsh realities of the 1930s. The infirmary stands as a poignant reminder of the past, a testament to the enduring power of compassion and the importance of providing shelter, housing, and medical care for those in need. The Greenwich Union Workhouse, with its rich history and architectural grandeur, continues to inspire and captivate us, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and the enduring human spirit.
