New Receiving Room at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, West Smithfield, 1862. Creator: Unknown
New Receiving Room at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, West Smithfield, [London], 1862. The...new hall or receiving-room...is seen externally as a continuation of the facade of the original front...The approach to this hall is by a short colonnade...From this colonnade there are two doors of exit and entrance - one for males, the other for females. On entering this unpretending portal or portals, we are struck with the immense size of the room, its dimensions being nearly 100ft. long and about 35ft. wide. In this hall the public are permitted to receive medical and surgical aid without introduction for casualties. Opposite the doorways is an apothecary's shop, where medicine is dispensed. On each side are rooms for the medical officers whose assistance may be required for sterner and more delicate cases. The apartment is divided by curtains, so as to keep the sexes separate, and is warmed by two large stoves. It is lighted by skylights during the day and by gaseliers at night. Stretchers and beds for conveying patients are placed in the room, and every requisite facility afforded in cases of need. There is not much architectural detail in the construction of this hall, Mr. P. Hardwick, the architect, having aimed at usefulness rather than at show'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the New Receiving Room at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in West Smithfield, London, as it appeared in 1862. The new hall or receiving-room is seen externally as a continuation of the facade of the original front, with a short colonnade leading to two doors of exit and entrance - one for males, the other for females. Upon entering this unpretentious portal, one is immediately struck by the immense size of the room, measuring nearly 100ft. in length and about 35ft. in width. In this hall, the public were permitted to receive medical and surgical aid without introduction for casualties. Opposite the doorways stood an apothecary's shop where medicine was dispensed. Rooms for medical officers were located on each side, ready to assist with more severe and delicate cases. The apartment was divided by curtains to keep the sexes separate and was warmed by two large stoves. It was lit by skylights during the day and gaseliers at night. Stretchers and beds for conveying patients were placed in the room, and every requisite facility was afforded in cases of need. Architect P. Hardwick designed this functional space with usefulness rather than architectural detail in mind. The New Receiving Room at St. Bartholomew's Hospital was a testament to the dedication of the medical community to provide aid to those in need, regardless of social standing or financial means. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the important role hospitals played in caring for the sick and injured during the Victorian era.
