EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a hydrotherapy pool located in the new rehabilitation centre at Mayday Hospital, London Road, West Thornton, Croydon. The image showcases the state-of-the-art facilities that were part of a £1.2 million contract awarded to Laings Southern Region in 1984 for further development at Mayday Hospital. During this phase of redevelopment, which followed the construction of a new surgical block and services block (Phase I), attention was given to upgrading geriatric facilities. This included the establishment of a rehabilitation unit, wards, and most notably, a hydrotherapy pool. The hydrotherapy pool served as an oasis within the hospital premises - offering patients an opportunity to heal and recover through water-based therapy. As one can imagine from this image alone, it provided a serene environment where individuals could find solace amidst their healthcare journey. This photograph is not just about capturing architectural beauty; it symbolizes progress in healthcare during the 1980s. It represents how hospitals like Mayday embraced innovative approaches to patient care by incorporating specialized amenities such as hydrotherapy pools into their infrastructure. Preserved by A© Historic England Archive, this snapshot serves as a reminder of how advancements in medical technology have transformed our understanding and treatment of various health conditions over time.
