EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the entrance gates of Booth Hall Infirmary, located on Charlestown Road in Blackley, Manchester. The imposing red-brick building was constructed in 1908 as an infirmary for the Prestwich Union, serving the local community in providing medical care for those in need. However, following the merging of Manchester's poor law unions in 1915, Booth Hall Infirmary transitioned into a children's hospital, offering solace and healing to young patients. The entrance gates, with their ornate ironwork and grand arches, stand as a testament to the commitment of the community to provide essential healthcare services during a time when it was needed most. The date of this photograph is unknown, but the image transports us back in time, inviting us to reflect on the history of care and compassion that unfolded within these walls.
