History

The hospital opened as a home for the elderly known as Suttons Institution in 1938. It was used as residential accommodation for airmen based RAF Hornchurch during the Second World War.It joined the National Health Service as St George's Hospital in 1948.

Legionella was founded in the hospital's water system in October 2012; the patients were transferred to other hospitals and St George's Hospital closed.Plans are in place for a new health centre on site, with the remaining land being converted to housing.

Thanks for looking!!
 
You did well avoiding the cameras unless the secca were asleep on the job! :beguiled:
 
Love the roof shots, good to see this place again, I wonder just how much of the original buildings they keep, I bet they squeeze hundreds of miserable generic new builds onto that land.

Yes PV it’s a shame that they have to knock any of it down! And like you say ruin it with housing.
 
Lovely take on this place mate, you got some beautiful shots there. I’ve still not been here yet! Is demo likely to happen anytime soon?

Thanks, the equipment is in and some looks ready for it! So days are counting down I’d say!
