EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the historical significance of Ladywell Lodge in Lewisham, south east London. Originally built as the St Olaves Union workhouse in 1900, this site was intended to provide housing for the aged and infirm members of society. During World War I, it transformed into Bermondsey Military Hospital, serving those who fought for their country.
The evolution of this building reflects the changing needs of society over time - from a place of poverty relief to a center for medical care during wartime. The architecture designed by Newman & Newman stands as a reminder of the history that has unfolded within these walls.
Today, Ladywell Lodge continues its legacy as a residential institution for the elderly, offering health and care services to those in need. Its rich history is preserved within its walls, telling stories of resilience and compassion throughout different eras.
As we gaze upon this aerial view, we are reminded of the importance of honoring our past while looking towards a future where all individuals are cared for with dignity and respect. Ladywell Lodge stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of community and support for those in their golden years.
