EDITORS COMMENTS
In this aerial view, the rich history of Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham, England, unfolds before us. The image, taken from an unknown date, reveals the former Kings Norton Union Workhouse and Workhouse Infirmary, now transformed into the prominent hospital complex we see today. The original workhouse building, a testament to a bygone era, is situated towards the left, just below the centre of the photograph. Its modest size and rectangular shape contrast sharply with the expansive infirmary complex that dominates the centre of the picture. The infirmary, a large, intricate network of buildings, was once an integral part of the workhouse system. Its primary purpose was to provide medical care for the sick and infirm residents of the workhouse. Over time, the infirmary grew in size and sophistication, eventually evolving into the modern Selly Oak Hospital that stands today. The aerial perspective offers a unique vantage point, allowing us to appreciate the layout and scale of these historic structures. The original workhouse, with its humble beginnings, and the infirmary, with its expansive growth, serve as a poignant reminder of the evolution of healthcare in Birmingham. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the history and transformation of Selly Oak Hospital. It is a testament to the enduring nature of these buildings, which continue to serve the community, providing essential healthcare services to the people of Birmingham and beyond.
