Holborn Includes Mitcham Operated Premises Workhouse
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene outside Holborn Military Hospital in Mitcham during the latter part of the First World War. The hospital, which operated in the premises of the Holborn Union workhouse, is seen here bustling with activity. A car of the period is parked in front of the hospital entrance, its tires kicking up a small cloud of dust as it waits. In the distance, two nurses in their distinctive uniforms can be seen tending to patients. The Holborn Military Hospital played a crucial role in the care and treatment of soldiers during this time, providing essential medical services to those injured on the battlefield. The union workhouse, which had previously served as a place of last resort for the destitute, was repurposed to meet the needs of the military, reflecting the unprecedented scale of the war effort. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the hospital and the dedication of those who worked there, providing care and compassion to the wounded soldiers of the First World War.
