I've been discussing this on another forum, and thought that maybe some of the Cane Hill O'Philes might be able to help.
It was suggested that Cane Hill was once a 'Light, Airy Hospital', but further additions started blocking out light.
I'm only aware of the Nurses Block, The extension to Johnson/Jenner, and King/Keats/Keller as being major additions, as well as yard space around the chapel being taken up to use for consultation, xrays, patients library, and other record storage/administrative rooms.
On Simon's site, there is a passage accompanying a map supposedly dated 1883, which mentions how the triple storied wards were added between 1882 and 1888, perhaps at the same time as the rear extensions.
Is there any more information available on this?
Here is the map I refer to
