1. Title: South Eastern Fever Hospital, New Cross, London - A Beacon of Care and Compassion in the 1800s. This evocative photograph captures the South Eastern Fever Hospital, situated on Avonley Road at New Cross, near Deptford in south east London. Established in 1877, this hospital was the fifth such institution to be erected by the Metropolitan Asylums Board, which in 1869 had taken on the responsibility for the care of certain classes of the sick poor in metropolitan London. The South Eastern Fever Hospital was built to address the growing health concerns of the impoverished communities in the area, particularly those affected by fever and other contagious diseases. The hospital's establishment was a testament to the progressive spirit of the time, as it provided much-needed medical care and relief to those most in need. The image shows the imposing yet compassionate building, with its grand driveway leading up to the main entrance. The pavement in front of the hospital is bustling with activity, as people go about their daily lives. The hospital's architecture, a blend of Victorian and Edwardian styles, exudes an air of dignity and hope. The South Eastern Fever Hospital later became New Cross General Hospital and then New Cross Hospital, continuing to serve the community for many decades. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of medical care and social welfare in London during the 1870s and beyond. The hospital's establishment was a significant step towards improving the living conditions and health of the poor in the area, providing a beacon of hope and compassion during a time when poverty and disease were rampant. The South Eastern Fever Hospital stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of London to address the challenges of their time and provide care and support to those in need.
