EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Administration Block at Joyce Green Smallpox Hospital, located at Long Reach near Dartford. Established in 1903, this hospital was operated by the Metropolitan Asylums Board, a public health organization responsible for managing various institutions in the Metropolitan area of London. Replacing three hospital ships previously moored on the Thames, the new hospital provided advanced medical care for smallpox patients in a more permanent and effective setting. The Administration Block, with its grand architecture and imposing presence, served as the central hub for the hospital's management and administrative functions. Circa 1910, this image offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the importance of public health initiatives during a time when diseases like smallpox posed significant threats to communities. The hospital's dedication to providing care and containment for those afflicted by smallpox demonstrates the commitment of the Metropolitan Asylums Board to safeguarding the health and wellbeing of the population.
