EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Sheffield City Archives takes us back to the tumultuous era of World War I. It showcases the Open Air Section at the 3rd Northern General Hospital, located in Endcliffe Hall annexe. The image captures a significant transformation within the hospital as it converted its Grand Conservatory into an open-air ward by removing its glass structure. The remains of what was once a splendid conservatory now stand bare and exposed, symbolizing the resilience and adaptability of medical facilities during times of war. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how hospitals had to rapidly evolve to accommodate the influx of wounded soldiers. Taken between 1915 and 1918 by Professor A. M. Connell, who was then Colonel, this image offers a glimpse into life at both Base Hospital and Longshaw during those challenging years. As we observe this historical artifact, we can only imagine the stories that unfolded within these walls – tales of bravery, sacrifice, compassion, and hope. Let us not forget that behind every brick lies countless untold narratives from brave men and women who fought valiantly for their countries. This print is a testament to their indomitable spirit amidst adversity
