EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Hammersmith Workhouse and Infirmary, located on Du Cane Road in Hammersmith, West London. The Edwardian-era buildings, designed by the architectural firm of Giles, Gough and Trollope, were opened in 1905 with a grand ceremony presided over by Princess Henry of Battenberg. Initially serving as a workhouse and infirmary for the poor, the site later played a crucial role in the healthcare system during World War I. In 1916, the Hammersmith Workhouse and Infirmary were taken over by the military and transformed into the Military Orthopaedic Hospital to care for injured soldiers. The buildings, with their distinctive red-brick facade and grand arches, stood as a testament to the community's commitment to providing care and support during times of need. Today, the site is known as Hammersmith Hospital, continuing its legacy of medical care and service to the community.
