EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a distant view of the Central London District Sick Asylum at Colindale, Hendon, North London, which opened its doors in 1900. At the time, this establishment was a vital resource for the poor law authorities in central London, providing much-needed care and treatment for the sick and infectious cases. Specialising in the treatment of tuberculosis, the hospital was later known as Hendon Infirmary and then Colindale Hospital. The Victorian and Edwardian eras saw a significant increase in the number of people suffering from poverty and illness, and workhouses, like the Central London District Sick Asylum, played a crucial role in providing care for those in need. The hospital's focus on infectious cases was particularly important during this time, as tuberculosis, or TB, was a leading cause of death and disability. The hospital's establishment marked a significant step forward in medical care and health services for the poor, and its history is a testament to the compassionate efforts of those who worked tirelessly to improve the lives of the sick and vulnerable.
