EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the entrance of Berrington War Hospital, located in Atcham, Shropshire during the First World War. Operating out of the premises of the Atcham Union workhouse, this historical site served as a crucial medical facility for those affected by the Great War. The workhouse itself dates back to around 1793 and later transformed into Cross Houses Hospital.
The image showcases a glimpse into the past, highlighting the stark contrast between the grandeur of the hospital's architecture and its somber purpose of providing care for those impacted by war. The long drive leading up to the entrance exudes a sense of history and importance, symbolizing hope and healing amidst a time of great turmoil.
As we reflect on this snapshot from 1915, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by individuals who dedicated their lives to providing medical care during times of conflict. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and underscores the importance of preserving such significant landmarks for future generations to learn from and appreciate.
