EDITORS COMMENTS
In this aerial view of Southmead Hospital in Bristol, the entrance can be seen at the bottom left of the image on Southmead Road. The history of this site is rich and varied, as it originally began as a workhouse for the Barton Regis Union in 1900-1902. During the First World War, it was taken over by the Bristol poor law authorities and served as the 2nd Southern Military Hospital. The tall, imposing buildings, with their red-tiled roofs and chimneys, stand proudly against the rural backdrop of the surrounding fields and countryside. The hospital's architecture is a testament to the historical significance of the site, with its tall, Gothic-style windows and grand entrances. The hospital has undergone numerous transformations throughout the years, including a major expansion in the 1950s. During this time, the hospital became a symbol of progress and innovation in the field of medicine, with advanced treatments and state-of-the-art facilities. The hospital's staff, both medical personnel and administrative personnel, worked tirelessly to provide the best possible care for their patients. The hospital's history is deeply intertwined with the history of the country, serving as a vital institution during the war time and continuing to be a beacon of health and wellness in the community. The hospital's past as a workhouse is a reminder of the historical context in which it was built, a time when poverty and poverty relief were major concerns for the community. The image of the hospital, with its tall buildings and expansive grounds, stands in stark contrast to the rural surroundings, a testament to the progress and advancements made in the field of medicine over the past century. This photograph, taken from an aerial view, offers a unique perspective on the history and architecture of Southmead Hospital in Bristol, a vital and historic institution that continues to serve the community to this day.
