EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Medical Fund Dispensary, a significant establishment in Milton Road, Swindon back in 1907. The grandeur of this large dispensary is evident as it occupied the ground floor of the iconic Milton Road building. Serving as a vital healthcare hub for the community, this facility catered to various medical needs. The photograph captures an interesting aspect of its operation - prescriptions being handed out through hatches to patients eagerly waiting in adjacent rooms. This unique system ensured efficient and timely distribution of medications while maintaining privacy and convenience for those seeking treatment. Constructed in 1892, the Medical Fund Society building on Milton Road was not only home to this impressive dispensary but also housed other essential amenities such as swimming baths, Turkish and Russian Baths, along with dental services. It stood as a testament to the commitment towards comprehensive healthcare provision during that era. Today, preserved within the STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of Swindon's medical history. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of advancements in healthcare facilities and practices since then. As we admire this image from yesteryears, let us appreciate the dedication shown by those who worked tirelessly at this chemist's dispensary/pharmacy to provide much-needed care and support to their community.
