EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the early 1900s and the innovative medical practices at Joyce Green Hospital in Dartford, England. The image showcases a stable yard filled with ambulance trams, which were a groundbreaking addition to the hospital's transportation system. These trams, drawn by horses, were used to ferry patients to and from the hospital, replacing the traditional method of reaching out to asylums and other medical facilities via the River Thames. The Joyce Green Hospital Board, which operated the hospital, recognized the importance of efficient and timely patient transport, especially during outbreaks of contagious diseases such as smallpox. The open-air design of the ambulance trams allowed for proper ventilation, reducing the risk of infection for both patients and staff. The long, open-bodied trams were also more spacious and comfortable than the cramped and confined horse-drawn carriages previously used. The ambulance trams were housed in a stable yard, where they were kept in pristine condition, ensuring they were always ready for use. The horses, which were an essential part of the transportation system, were also cared for in the yard. The trams were operated by skilled drivers and attendants, who ensured the safety and comfort of the patients during their journeys. This photograph is a testament to the forward-thinking approach of the Joyce Green Hospital Board and their commitment to providing the best possible care for their patients. The ambulance trams revolutionized patient transport, making a significant impact on the hospital's ability to reach and care for those in need.
