EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the City of London Union Infirmary, now known as St Clement's Hospital, in all its historical glory. Situated on Mile End Road where it transitions into Bow Road, this iconic building opened its doors in 1849 as a workhouse for the City of London Union. The image showcases a bustling scene from circa 1910, with pedestrians strolling along the pavement and horse-drawn carts making their way down the street.
The architecture of the infirmary stands tall and imposing, serving as a stark reminder of the poverty and homelessness that plagued Victorian and Edwardian society. The presence of hand carts and horse-drawn vehicles further emphasizes the era in which this photograph was taken.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported back to a time when laws and legislation dictated the lives of paupers and those less fortunate. The City of London Union Infirmary symbolizes both hope for those seeking shelter and healthcare, as well as despair for those trapped within its walls.
This image is not just a visual representation of a bygone era; it is a poignant reminder of our collective past and serves as an important historical document for future generations to study and learn from.
