EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a poignant moment during the 1931 census at Park Royal Hospital in Willesden, north west London. The scene unfolds on 26th April 1931, as a dedicated nurse meticulously records the details of newborn babies, ensuring their inclusion in the national census. The hospital, adorned with its distinctive red-brick facade and lush greenery, stands as a symbol of care and nurturing, providing a sanctuary for the young and vulnerable. The nurse, with her stern yet compassionate expression, diligently checks each infant's information, while the babies, swaddled in soft blankets, gaze curiously at their surroundings. The gentle touch of the nurse's hand on a baby's head, the tender cooing of a mother in the background, and the soft hum of the hospital all contribute to the atmosphere of warmth and protection.
