EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to November 1939, capturing the construction of a prefabricated hospital at Mount Vernon in Hillingdon, Greater London. The Ministry of Health's ambitious project aimed to establish a network of hutted hospitals around the city during the tumultuous years of World War II. In this particular shot, we are presented with a view of the ends of these new hutted buildings as they take shape. The scale is impressive, with accommodation planned for over 300 patients once completed. These emergency hospitals were crucial in providing medical care amidst the chaos and uncertainty brought about by the war. The image evokes both awe and admiration for those involved in this significant undertaking. Norman Kingsley Harrison expertly captures not only the physical structures but also hints at their purpose - to serve as beacons of hope and healing during one of humanity's darkest periods. As we gaze upon this historic photograph today, it serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst adversity, human resilience shines through. This snapshot from our past stands testament to our unwavering commitment towards health and welfare, showcasing how communities come together to face challenges head-on.
