EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken circa 1911, offers a glimpse into the past of Nottingham General Hospital. The distinctive circular ward block of its Jubilee Wing, designed by Alfred Waterhouse and Son, stands proudly at the heart of the hospital campus. Opened in 1899, this architectural marvel was a testament to the forward-thinking approach of the hospital's administrators, who sought to provide the best possible care for their patients. The Jubilee Wing was not just a place for medical treatment; it also offered accommodation for children in the hospital's Children's Home. Social welfare and care were integral parts of the hospital's mission, and this innovative design allowed for a more holistic approach to patient care. The circular shape of the building facilitated the creation of large, airy wards, filled with natural light, which would have provided a more pleasant environment for the young patients. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, with children playing and laughing in the hospital grounds, oblivious to the cameras watchful eye. The scene is a poignant reminder of the importance of community, care, and compassion, values that continue to be at the heart of healthcare institutions today. This photograph, from the extensive archive of Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a fascinating insight into the history of Nottingham General Hospital and the pioneering work of Alfred Waterhouse and Son. It is a testament to the power of architecture to shape our communities and improve the lives of those in need.
