Title: A Moment of Joy and Healing: Convalescent Children at Belgrave Hospital, Clapham Road, London This evocative photograph captures a moment of joy and healing at Belgrave Hospital for Children, located on Clapham Road in London. The image, taken at an unknown date, showcases a group of convalescent children enjoying the outdoors, basking in the sunshine and fresh air.

The presence of these items highlights the importance of play and companionship during their recovery. The children's expressions of happiness and contentment convey the therapeutic effects of outdoor activities and the nurturing care provided by the dedicated nursing staff.
