Western Fever Hospital, Fulham: A Beacon of Care and Compassion for the Poor and Sick This evocative photograph captures the entrance of the Western Fever Hospital in Fulham, London, a vital institution that provided essential care and relief to the poor and sick during the late 19th century. Established in 1869, the hospital was originally known as the Metropolitan Fever Asylum and was later renamed Western Fever Hospital in 1877. The image showcases the imposing hospital entrance, adorned with a large wooden signboard bearing the hospital's name and the words "Receiving Station." The hospital was situated on a significant site along the Fulham Road, a major thoroughfare that connected Fulham to the bustling metropolis of London. The proximity to the railway station would have facilitated easy access for patients and medical personnel. The hospital was primarily responsible for treating patients suffering from various types of fever, a common affliction during the Victorian era. The institution's mission was to provide care for the less fortunate members of society, offering them a chance at recovery and a reprieve from their suffering. The hospital's ambulance, parked near the entrance, symbolizes the institution's commitment to reaching out to those in need. The horse-drawn vehicle would have been an essential component of the hospital's transportation fleet, enabling the swift transfer of patients from their homes to the hospital. The Western Fever Hospital, Fulham, stands as a testament to the compassionate spirit of the era, demonstrating the responsibility and dedication of its staff in caring for the sick and the poor. This photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the past, reminding us of the vital role that hospitals and healthcare professionals play in our communities.
