EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view print captures the historic Pinewood Sanatorium in Wokingham, Berkshire, originally established in 1898 as the London Open Air Sanatorium by the National Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis. Over time, it underwent a transformation and was taken over by the Metropolitan Asylums Board in 1919, becoming known as Pinewood Hospital.
The image showcases the sprawling layout of this significant institution dedicated to treating tuberculosis patients during a time when this disease was rampant and often associated with poverty and poor living conditions. The Victorian-era architecture of the hospital blocks stands out against the backdrop of Bagshot Sands, highlighting its role in providing crucial medical care to those suffering from TB.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are reminded of the important work carried out within these walls to combat a deadly disease that once plagued communities across England. The aerial perspective offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when sanatoriums like Pinewood played a vital role in public health initiatives aimed at preventing and treating tuberculosis.
This Rights Managed image serves as a poignant reminder of our collective efforts to improve healthcare and address public health challenges throughout history.
