EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of the City of London Infirmary, formerly known as St. Clement's Hospital, situated on Bow Road in East London circa 1907. Originally established in 1849 as the City of London Union workhouse, this historic building served as a place for medical care and treatment for the impoverished residents of the area.
In this snapshot from over a century ago, horse-drawn trams and wagons can be seen bustling along the street outside the infirmary. The architecture of the building reflects the Victorian era with its grand design and intricate details.
The image provides a window into a time when poverty was rampant, and access to healthcare was limited for many individuals living in East London. The City of London Infirmary played a crucial role in providing much-needed medical assistance to those in need during this period.
As we reflect on this piece of history, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of healthcare accessibility and social welfare since the early 20th century. It also highlights the importance of preserving historical landmarks like St. Clement's Hospital to honor their significance in our collective past.
