EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the opening ceremony of Winford Orthopaedic Hospital in 1928. The Duke and Duchess of York, later known as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother), are seen here during their visit to Winford, Somerset. The Duke can be seen laying the foundation stone of this groundbreaking hospital on 7 July 1928. The image showcases the fashion of the era, with both men and women dressed elegantly in twenties-style attire. The Duchess stands out in her stylish dress and hat, exuding grace and poise. This royal couple's presence adds an air of regality to the occasion. Located in North Somerset, Winford Orthopaedic Hospital was a symbol of progress in healthcare during the early twentieth century. It provided specialized care for orthopedic patients, offering hope for those suffering from various musculoskeletal conditions. This particular print is part of a collection called "Our King And Queen" cigarette cards produced by W. D. & H. O. Wills for The Imperial Tobacco Company in London back in 1937. These cards were highly sought after at the time due to their historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, it serves as a reminder not only of our rich heritage but also how far medical advancements have come since that monumental day at Winford Orthopaedic Hospital over nine decades ago.
