Abstract:		 The site currently occupied by the Mary Hughes Buildings is the result of a programme of works beginning in the late 19th century, driven by Alice Model, to provide welfare facilities for Jewish mothers. The Sick Rooms Helps Society, founded in 1895, was administered from No. 24 Underwood Road. By 1911 funds had been raised to design and build facilities (The Jewish Maternity Hospital) fit for purpose on the site. The buildings that were previously on the site were demolished and the irregular plan building plot carefully laid out to comprise administration and care facilities, which at this stage included twelve beds. By 1918 the level of care required had exceeded the facilities and a new development was planned. The former domestic structures adjacent to the Maternity Hospital, with frontages onto Underwood Road in addition to the warehouses that had occupied the rear of the site, were demolished to make way for the new development. The architects commissioned were Messrs Joseph and the new buildings again laid out to fit the pre-determined boundaries of the site. The hospital was renamed the Bearsted Memorial Hospital and opened in 1927. By 1937 the demand had again exceeded the facilities available at the site and a relocation to Stoke Newington was planned. The advent of the Second World War resulted in a postponement of the move and the new site did not open until 1947. After the war the Underwood Road site was bought by Stepney Council and the Mary Hughes Centre and Day Nursery was established within the former hospital buildings. The facilities included an antenatal clinic, a school treatment centre, a day nursery and a hostel for the nursery nurses. The buildings remained in use under Tower Hamlets Council, providing facilities for family welfare and for local children and adults until its closure in 1996.
