EDITORS COMMENTS
Alder Hey Hospital Entrance: A Historical Snapshot of Liverpool's Medical Past This evocative photograph captures the entrance to Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool, a historic building that has served various roles throughout the 20th century. The image, taken in the early 1900s, shows a uniformed soldier standing guard at the gate on the left. The hospital, which opened in 1915, initially housed chronic and bedridden patients from the West Derby Union and workhouse. During the First World War, Alder Hey was repurposed as a military hospital, providing essential medical care to wounded soldiers. The uniformed soldiers at the entrance were a common sight during those war years, ensuring the safety and security of the patients and staff. The image also reveals a glimpse into the historical context of the time, with the soldiers standing tall on the street corner and the hospital building looming in the background. The poverty-stricken era is evident in the worn-down appearance of the buildings and the rough road leading up to the entrance. As the years passed, Alder Hey Hospital evolved into a children's hospital, becoming a beacon of hope and healing for young patients. Today, the hospital continues to provide world-class medical care, standing as a testament to Liverpool's rich history and commitment to health and wellbeing.
