The image showcases an impressive architectural marvel that stood as a symbol of hope and healing during its time. The building's grandeur is evident in its intricate design and imposing presence along this historic avenue. Beneath this striking exterior view lies another hidden gem: an interior perspective of the hospital chapel, known as St Bartholomews Chapel. This sacred space served as a sanctuary for patients seeking solace and spiritual guidance amidst their battles with disease. The photograph transports us to a bygone era when medicine was still grappling with understanding diseases such as leprosy. The Lock Hospital played a crucial role in providing healthcare services to those afflicted by various ailments, reflecting both the advancements made in science and society's commitment to caring for its most vulnerable members.
