EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1875, captures the haunting image of The Five Houses, once standing as pest-houses in the rural Tuttle Fields, now known as Tothill Fields, in London. Built during the devastating plague outbreak of 1665, these structures served as isolation wards for those infected with the deadly disease. The year 1665 was a dark time in London's history, with the Great Plague claiming countless lives and spreading fear throughout the city. The Five Houses were a grim necessity, providing a place for those afflicted to be quarantined and cared for, in an attempt to prevent the spread of the disease to the wider population. The image of these houses, standing alone in the open fields, is a poignant reminder of the past. The buildings, now in ruins, are a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of London during a time of crisis. The photo, taken over 200 years later, shows how nature had begun to reclaim the land, with trees and foliage encroaching upon the crumbling walls. Despite the passage of time, the memory of The Five Houses and the events they represent continue to be an important part of London's history. This photograph provides a unique glimpse into the past, offering a poignant reminder of the city's rich and complex history.
