EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Fulham Military Hospital, St Dunstans Road, Fulham: A Victorian Brick Building Transformed into a War Hospital in 1915 2.. This evocative photograph captures the historic Fulham Military Hospital, located on St Dunstans Road in Fulham, south west London. The building, a former infirmary of the Fulham Workhouse, was erected in 1884 and later became part of Fulham Hospital. During the Great War, this Victorian brick structure underwent a significant transformation, serving as a military hospital from 1915 onwards. Initially built as a workhouse to provide housing and care for the poor, the infirmary was later repurposed to treat soldiers wounded in the First World War. The hospital's walls, adorned with railings, bore witness to the harsh realities of war time and the dedication of medical personnel during this historical period. The image portrays the hospital's exterior, with its imposing presence and the stark contrast between the ornate railings and the austere workhouse design. The photograph, taken in 1915, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the resilience and adaptability of the community during a time of great need. Today, the site of Fulham Military Hospital is home to Charing Cross Hospital, a testament to the rich history of healthcare and social welfare in the area. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past, highlighting the importance of care and compassion, especially during times of crisis. The image, taken in the early 1900s, is a valuable historical document that showcases the transformation of the Fulham Military Hospital from a workhouse infirmary to a vital institution for the care of wounded soldiers during the First World War.
