1. Title: "A Moment of Care and Compassion: Young Children and Nurses at the Willesden Workhouse/Central Middlesex Hospital, Acton Lane" This evocative photograph captures a tender moment at the Acton Lane site of the Willesden Workhouse and later Central Middlesex Hospital. The image, taken at an unknown date, shows a group of young children, clad in simple clothing, gathered around their nurses. The nurses, dressed in their uniforms, are seen engaging with the children, providing them with care and attention. The Willesden Workhouse, established in 1837, was initially designed to provide relief for the destitute and the elderly. However, it also housed children who were separated from their families due to various circumstances, such as poverty or neglect. The children lived in the workhouse until they reached the age of 16, at which point they were apprenticed out or sent to work. The Acton Lane site of the Willesden Workhouse was later transformed into the Central Middlesex Hospital in 1930. During this period, the hospital became renowned for its children's services, providing care for young patients and offering a sanctuary for those in need. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role that institutions like the Willesden Workhouse and Central Middlesex Hospital played in the lives of children during a time when social care and welfare systems were still developing. The image underscores the importance of compassionate care and the enduring bond between children and those who nurture them, even in the most challenging of circumstances. The photograph is a testament to the resilience and strength of the children, as well as the dedication and commitment of the nurses who cared for them. It is a poignant reminder of the past and a reminder of the importance of continuing to provide care and support for children in need today.
