EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exterior of the Maternity Block at Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry during the 1960s. The image showcases the main entrance, adorned with a grand canopy under which ambulances would arrive to deliver expectant mothers. Walsgrave Hospital, located on Clifford Bridge Road in Walsgrave on Sowe, played a vital role in providing healthcare services to the local community. As part of the National Health Service (NHS), it served as a beacon of hope and care for countless families. The snapshot offers a glimpse into an era where cars were parked neatly outside, reflecting the bustling activity within this essential medical facility. The presence of these vehicles hints at both patients arriving for appointments and dedicated staff members working tirelessly to ensure quality care. Originally featured in Team Spirit, Laing company's newsletter from October 1969, this print is now preserved by Historic England Archive. Its historical significance lies not only in documenting architectural details but also capturing an important aspect of social history - healthcare provision during that time. As we admire this remarkable image today, we are reminded of how far our healthcare system has come while acknowledging its roots and appreciating those who have contributed to its development over time.
