EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when St. Thomas Hospital was relocated from Southwark after standing proudly for nearly 800 years. The exact date of this photograph is unknown, but it is estimated to be taken around 1935. St. Thomas Hospital, one of London's largest medical institutions, had been an integral part of the Southwark community since its establishment in medieval times. However, as urban development progressed and the city expanded, a decision was made to move the hospital to Lambeth on the south bank of the River Thames in 1871. The image showcases the architectural grandeur of St. Thomas Hospital against a backdrop of London's cityscape. Its imposing presence stands tall amidst other buildings, symbolizing its significance within British healthcare history. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock. It serves as a visual reminder that even though time moves forward relentlessly, certain landmarks hold immense historical value that should be cherished and preserved. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to an era where progress meant relocating centuries-old institutions like St. Thomas Hospital in order to adapt to changing needs and demands. This photograph encapsulates both nostalgia for what once was and admiration for how far our healthcare system has come since then.
