EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Refreshing Dip: Sea Bathing at Millfield Seaside Home, Littlehampton, Sussex, 1930s 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite and rejuvenation at the Millfield Seaside Home in Rustington, Littlehampton, Sussex, during the 1930s. Established by the Metropolitan Asylums Board in 1904, this seaside sanatorium was designed to provide care and treatment for children suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis, a disease that was particularly prevalent during this era due to poverty and overcrowded living conditions. 3. Historical Context: The Millfield Seaside Home was an important institution in the history of medical care and social welfare in Sussex. At the time, tuberculosis was a leading cause of death, and the belief that fresh sea air and a change of scenery could aid in the recovery of patients was widely held. The Home offered a much-needed reprieve from the harsh realities of life for these children, many of whom came from workhouses and asylums. 4. Scene and Setting: In this image, we see a group of young patients enjoying a sea bathing session under the watchful eyes of dedicated nurses. The serene beach scene, with the gentle waves lapping at the shore and the sun casting a warm glow over the scene, contrasts starkly with the harsh conditions these children would have faced in their everyday lives. The nurses, dressed in their Edwardian-era uniforms, are attentive and caring, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of their charges. 5. Legacy: The Millfield Seaside Home continued to operate until 1954, when it was replaced by Millfield Hospital. Today, the site is a poignant reminder of the important role that institutions like this played in the history of medical care and social welfare. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the simple pleasure of a day at the beach could be a transformative experience for children battling a debilitating disease.
