EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1906, showcases St. George's Infirmary situated on Fulham Road in London. Designed by the esteemed architect Henry Saxon Snell and opened in 1878, the infirmary expanded onto land adjacent to the existing St. George's workhouse. The architectural beauty of the building is evident in its grandiose design, featuring intricate details and a distinctive red brick facade. Passers-by on this bustling London street include a cyclist, dressed in a long coat and hat, and a horse-drawn omnibus, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the scene. The omnibus, a common mode of transportation during this era, is adorned with advertisements for various products, showcasing the commercial activity that thrived in the city. The infirmary, which was not for commercial use, aimed to provide essential medical care to the local community. Henry Saxon Snell's design reflected the importance of healthcare facilities in the rapidly growing city, and the addition of St. George's Infirmary on Fulham Road was a significant step towards improving the overall well-being of London's residents. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into London's history, capturing the essence of the city's past and the daily life of its people. The harmonious coexistence of the modern cyclist and the traditional horse-drawn omnibus serves as a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of urban life.
