EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Haven of Healing: Fountain Hospital, Tooting, Surrey, 1893-1911. This evocative photograph captures the historic Fountain Hospital in Tooting, Surrey, which opened its doors in 1893 as a fever hospital under the Metropolitan Asylums Board. During this time, poverty and inadequate housing conditions in urban areas often led to the spread of infectious diseases, making hospitals like Fountain essential for public health. By 1911, the hospital's focus shifted towards mental health, specifically for the care of severely subnormal children. This transition came as part of a broader movement to separate and specialize mental health care from the general workhouse system, which had previously housed and cared for those with mental health issues alongside the able-bodied poor. The Fountain Hospital's Victorian architecture stands as a testament to the era's commitment to providing care for those in need, despite the challenges posed by limited resources and societal stigma. The hospital's name, "Fountain," may have been inspired by the hope that healing and renewal would flow from its walls, offering solace and support to those who sought refuge there. As we look at this image, we are reminded of the historical significance of institutions like Fountain Hospital in addressing the complex health needs of their communities, from physical to mental health, during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Today, we continue to build upon the foundations laid by institutions like Fountain, striving to provide comprehensive, compassionate care for all. Image Source: Mary Evans Prints Online.
