This photo shows Sheffield’s very first motor ambulance outside Lodge Moor Hospital. At the wheel is Mr George Fox, just 20 years old, who had previously driven the horse-drawn fever ambulance before becoming the city’s very first motor ambulance driver.

The vehicle, an Argyll, marked a huge step forward in medical care and emergency response. Standing proudly beside it are two nurses and Dr Muir Head, reflecting the dedicated team who worked at Lodge Moor. Sheffield’s isolation hospital was built in response to the smallpox epidemic of 1887–88.

“Courtly ideas of Covent Garden, as a place with famous coffee-houses, where gentlemen wearing gold- laced coats and swords had quarrelled and fought duels; costly ideas of Covent Garden, as a place where there were flowers in winter at guineas a-piece, pine-apples at guineas a pound, and peas at guineas a pint; picturesque ideas of Covent Garden, as a place where there was a mighty theatre, showing wonderful and beautiful sights to richly-dressed ladies and gentlemen, and which was for ever far beyond the reach of poor Fanny or poor uncle; desolate ideas of Covent Garden, as having all those arches in it, where the miserable children in rags among whom she had just now passed, like young rats, slunk and hid, fed on offal, huddled together for warmth, and were hunted about (look to the rats young and old, all ye Barnacles, for before God they are eating away our foundations, and will bring the roofs on our heads!”

“Little Dorrit” Charles Dickens - 1855
