EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this photograph of the Joyce Green Hospital Corridor, taken circa 1910. Located at Long Reach near Dartford, this hospital was operated by the Metropolitan Asylums Board and opened in 1903, marking the end of an era for the three hospital ships moored nearby on the River Thames. The glass-roofed, open-sided north-east corridor is a striking feature of this hospital, allowing natural light to filter in and providing a sense of openness and airiness. The corridor leads the eye towards the distant horizon, evoking a feeling of hope and optimism. The Metropolitan Asylums Board was responsible for managing and operating mental health institutions in London and its suburbs. The Joyce Green Hospital was built to replace the hospital ships that had been providing care for smallpox patients on the Thames. Smallpox was a highly contagious disease that required isolation and quarantine measures, making the construction of a permanent hospital essential. The hospital's modern design and advanced facilities were a testament to the progress being made in medical care during this period. The use of glass in the corridor was a forward-thinking approach to creating a healthier and more comfortable environment for patients. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a moment when medical advancements were transforming the way we care for the sick and infirm. The Joyce Green Hospital Corridor stands as a symbol of progress and innovation, a reminder of the important role that hospitals play in our communities.
