EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1913, showcases the bustling main entrance of The Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, London. The image transports us back in time to the 1910s, offering a glimpse into the daily hustle and bustle of the area. The scene is filled with a diverse range of transportation modes, reflecting the various socio-economic classes of the population. On the left, a double-decker bus, adorned with ornate signage, waits patiently for passengers. Nearby, a horse-drawn cart, pulled by a pair of strong horses, is loaded with goods, ready for delivery. A taxi cab, with its distinctive yellow color and "For Hire" sign, sits in the foreground, while a horse-drawn cab, or hackney carriage, is parked to the right. The entrance to the hospital itself is the focal point of the photograph, with its grand architecture and ornate detailing. Patients and visitors can be seen entering and exiting the hospital, some assisted by friends or family, while others make their way on foot or by carriage. The scene is a testament to the importance of the hospital as a vital community hub, providing essential healthcare services to the people of Whitechapel.
