Saffron Walden Hospital, Essex (1915) - A Glimpse into the Past This postcard, published by W. Thompson in Saffron Walden in 1915, offers a captivating glimpse into the past with its image of Saffron Walden Hospital in Essex. The photograph showcases the imposing red-brick building, its tall, arched windows, and the meticulously manicured gardens surrounding it. The hospital, which was established in the late 18th century, was a vital institution in the community, providing essential medical care to the residents of Saffron Walden and its surrounding areas. The postcard's simple yet elegant design features a decorative border, with the inscription 'Saffron Walden Hospital, Essex' neatly written in the top left corner. The image is accompanied by the date '1915' and the publisher's name, 'W. Thompson, Saffron Walden,' in the bottom right corner. The postcard's reverse side bears the usual space for the sender to write a message and address, along with a small map of the United Kingdom, which was a common feature of postcards during this era. This postcard, now part of The John Barrett Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating insight into the history of healthcare in Saffron Walden and Essex over a century ago. It serves as a poignant reminder of the past, inviting us to reflect on the evolution of healthcare facilities and the role they play in our communities.
