This print takes us back to the year 1920, offering a glimpse into the Medical Fund Dispensary Waiting Room located on Milton Road. The image immediately draws our attention to an interesting aspect of that era - gender segregation. As we observe closely, we can discern separate seating areas for men and women within this waiting room. The Medical Fund Society in Milton Road was a remarkable establishment built in 1892, serving as a hub for various medical services. It offered not only a dispensary but also swimming baths, Turkish and Russian Baths, as well as dental care facilities. This multipurpose facility catered to the diverse healthcare needs of the village of Swindon during that time. Stepping into this waiting room through this photograph allows us to imagine what it must have been like for patients eagerly awaiting their turn for treatment or consultation with the chemist or dentist. The atmosphere is one of anticipation mixed with apprehension, as individuals from different walks of life gather together in search of relief from ailments or simply routine check-ups. This print serves as a valuable historical document capturing an important moment in time at the Medical Fund Dispensary Waiting Room on Milton Road. It offers us an opportunity to reflect upon how medical practices have evolved over the years while reminding us of societal norms prevalent during that era – such as gender segregation within public spaces like waiting rooms.
