EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1905, showcases the Metropolitan Asylums Board (MAB) Headquarters located at the corner of Carmelite Street and the Victoria Embankment in Central London. The MAB purchased this site in 1900, marking the beginning of a new era for the organization that had previously operated from Norfolk House on Norfolk Street. The ornate, Edwardian-style building exudes an air of authority and importance, reflecting the significant role the MAB played in the administration of poverty relief, housing, and health care during the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras. The MAB was responsible for the management of workhouses and asylums across London, providing shelter, medical care, and work opportunities for the city's most vulnerable populations. The board's headquarters served as the hub of this vast bureaucracy, where decisions were made that would impact the lives of countless individuals. The building's grand design, with its intricate detailing and imposing presence, underscores the importance of the work being carried out within its walls. The corner location on the Victoria Embankment, overlooking the Thames, adds to the historical significance of the site. The MAB's headquarters stood as a testament to the city's commitment to providing care and support to those in need, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the administrative heart of London's social welfare system during a pivotal moment in history.
