From origins to closure in 1982

These photographs offer a glimpse into the early history of Mildmay Mission Hospital, from its Victorian origins in London’s East End to its closure in 1982.

Drawn from an archive spanning more than a century, this collection captures the hospital wards, staff, and patients, as well as the surrounding communities of Shoreditch and Bethnal Green. Together, these images preserve moments of care, hardship, and resilience through periods of immense social change, documenting the life of the original hospital and mission.
