EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Infirmary at Havil Street in Camberwell, London, designed by architect R.P. Whellock and completed in 1889. A significant addition to the late 19th-century medical landscape, this circular ward block was purpose-built as an infirmary for the workhouse. The design, a marvel of its time, features four storeys with each floor accommodating 24 beds arranged around a central shaft. This innovative layout allowed for efficient distribution of heating and ventilation services, essential for maintaining a healthy environment in the ward. Whellock's design was a testament to the architectural and engineering advancements of the era, blending functionality with aesthetics. The Infirmary's circular form, with its distinctive arched windows, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, contrasting the stark image often associated with workhouses. The Infirmary at Havil Street stands as a symbol of the evolving medical care system during the late 1800s. It represents the shift towards more humane and hygienic living conditions for those in need, a crucial step towards the establishment of modern healthcare institutions. This photograph, taken shortly after its opening, offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a unique perspective on the history of healthcare and architectural design in London during the 1880s.
