EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the Administration Block at Queen Mary's Children's Hospital in Carshalton, Surrey, which opened its doors in 1908. The Metropolitan Asylums Board oversaw the establishment of this remarkable institution, designed to provide care for up to 1000 children in need. The hospital was unique in its design, featuring 24 pairs of U-shaped, single-storey cottages that surrounded a central driveway. This innovative layout aimed to create a homely and nurturing environment for the children, a stark contrast to the institutional settings of the time. The Edwardian-era building exudes an air of historical significance, with its grand facade and imposing presence. The pavement leading up to the Administration Block is lined with trees, adding to the picturesque scene. The driveway, with its elegant echelons, invites visitors to approach the building with a sense of reverence. Queen Mary's Children's Hospital was not just a hospital but also a refuge for children living in poverty and often in unsuitable housing conditions. The hospital's mission was to provide general medical care and treatment to those in need, offering a beacon of hope during a time when such resources were scarce. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of childcare and medical treatment during the early 20th century. The Administration Block stands as a testament to the compassionate efforts of those who sought to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children, and serves as a reminder of the importance of healthcare and social welfare in our communities.
