EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this photograph of the Interior of MAB Mead Works on Carnwath Road, Fulham, in south west London, during the 1930s. This remarkable image offers a glimpse into the Metropolitan Asylums Board's (MAB) industrial hub, where ambulance bodies were built, and the large fleet of vehicles underwent repair and maintenance. The scene is bustling with activity, as workers diligently construct new ambulance bodies amidst a sea of vehicles at various stages of production. The atmosphere is one of industry and determination, as the MAB worked tirelessly to ensure their fleet was in top condition to provide essential medical care and transportation for those in need. The interior of the Mead Works is a testament to the era's manufacturing prowess, with its high ceilings, large windows, and intricate machinery. The wooden beams and brick walls speak to the historical significance of the building, which once served as a vital component of London's social welfare system. Despite the poverty-stricken times of the 1930s, the MAB remained committed to providing housing, care, and transportation for the city's most vulnerable populations. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the important role workhouses and asylums played in London's history, and the critical importance of accessible medical care and transportation. The MAB's Mead Works on Carnwath Road in Fulham stand as a symbol of resilience and determination, showcasing the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people who worked within its walls during a time of great need.
