EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic administration block of Highwood School in Brentwood, Essex. Originally opened in 1904 by the Metropolitan Asylums Board as a treatment center for children with ophthalmia, Highwood School has since played various roles in caring for those in need.
Over the years, this building has served as a hospital for children with tuberculosis, a facility for long-term geriatric patients, and a home for mentally handicapped children. The rich history of Highwood School reflects the changing needs of society and the evolution of healthcare practices throughout the 20th century.
The image evokes feelings of nostalgia and reverence for a time when institutions like Highwood provided essential care and support to vulnerable populations. From treating infectious diseases to offering education and rehabilitation services, this building has been at the forefront of medical innovation and social welfare initiatives.
As we look upon this photograph, we are reminded of the importance of compassion, empathy, and dedication to improving the lives of those facing disability or illness. The legacy of Highwood School continues to inspire us to strive towards creating inclusive communities where everyone is valued and supported.
