The fist hospital here was the Duchess of Connaught Red Cross Hospital which was built by the Canadian Red Cross in 1914 on land donated by the Astors of Cliveden, the buildings were dismantled, but in the second world War, the Canadians built a larger hospital on the same site in a typically austere wartime style, and named it the Canadian Red Cross Memorial Hospital (CRCMH, CRXMH or CRX), after the war, the Hospital was given to the newly founded NHS, and served as a specialist children's and maternity hospital.
Closed in 1985-6, it has since been devastated by fire and vandalism, and is apparently now being demolished.
