EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the somber and imposing presence of the Willesden Workhouse Infirmary, located on Acton Lane in north west London. Erected between 1900 and 1901, this institution was a product of the English Poor Law system, designed to provide shelter, care, and medical assistance to the destitute and infirm. The red-brick building, surrounded by a high fence, stands as a stark reminder of the harsh realities of poverty and social welfare in early 20th century England. The image, taken in 1914, shows the hospital's western facade, with its grand entrance gate and the road leading to Park Royal and the nearby park. The hospital later went through several transformations, becoming the Park Royal Hospital and eventually the Central Middlesex Hospital. The Workhouse Infirmary was a place of last resort for those who had no other means of support. The institution was known for its harsh conditions, with long hours of labor, sparse meals, and limited medical care. The infirmary, however, offered a degree of relief for those who were sick or unable to work. The photograph's historical significance lies in its portrayal of a pivotal moment in the history of social welfare in England. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who sought refuge in the Willesden Workhouse Infirmary during a time of great need and hardship.
