EDITORS COMMENTS
In this aerial photograph, the foreground showcases the Joyce Green Hospital, opened in 1903, and the Orchard Hospital located at the rear, which was opened in 1902, both situated at Long Reach in Dartford, Kent. Designed by architects A & C Harston, these hospitals were established to combat the smallpox epidemic that was prevalent during that time. The Joyce Green Hospital, with its echelon layout, was a permanent structure, while the Orchard Hospital, located at the rear, was initially intended as a temporary solution. The Orchard Hospital was constructed using wooden huts, which were later replaced with brick buildings in 1910. The two hospitals were connected by a tramway, allowing for efficient transportation of patients and supplies between the facilities. The Joyce Green Hospital was designed with a unique layout, featuring a series of pavilions arranged in an echelon formation. This design was intended to improve ventilation and reduce the spread of infection. The Orchard Hospital, on the other hand, was arranged in a more conventional layout, with patients housed in individual huts. Both hospitals played a crucial role in the fight against smallpox during the early 20th century. The aerial view offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the architectural innovation and planning that went into combating this once-deadly disease. The photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the medical professionals and architects who worked tirelessly to contain and eradicate smallpox from the community. The exact date of this photograph is unknown, but it provides a valuable insight into the history of public health and medical care in Dartford, Kent. The intricate details of the hospitals' designs and their connection by a tramway are clearly visible, making this an essential addition to any collection of historical photographs.
