EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Oldchurch Hospital, Romford, Essex: A Historical Journey Through Time Oldchurch Hospital, located on Oldchurch Road in Romford, Essex, is a fascinating piece of local history that has served the community for over 180 years. The image captures the entrance to this historic building, which began its life in 1839 as the Romford Union workhouse. Designed by the renowned architect Francis Edwards, this imposing structure was built to provide shelter, treatment, and relief for the poor and homeless in the area. The Victorian-era workhouse was a product of the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, which aimed to reduce the number of paupers in the workhouse system by making it less attractive than outdoor relief. The building's austere appearance, with its high walls, railings, and hedge, reflects the harsh realities of poverty and homelessness during this period. By the 1950s, the focus of Oldchurch Hospital had shifted from a workhouse to a medical facility. The entrance, with its ornate railings and impressive architecture, now welcomed patients seeking treatment and care. The building's transformation is a testament to the evolving social and legislative landscape of the time. The Oldchurch Hospital entrance stands as a reminder of the past, a link to the 1830s and the Victorian era, and a symbol of the progress made in healthcare and social welfare over the decades. The image invites us to reflect on the history of this important building and the people it has served throughout the years. Oldchurch Hospital's story is a rich tapestry of history, architecture, and social change. This photograph, taken in the 1950s, offers a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the importance of preserving our historical buildings and the stories they hold. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical or architectural photographs, and a testament to the enduring legacy of Oldchurch Hospital in Romford, Essex.
