3rd London Hospital

In the original post, the last postcard image is of the Royal Victoria Patriotic Asylum, built in 1858 as an orphanage for girls whose fathers died in the Crimea. It became a hospital during First World War (I think I'm right) and a hospital/prisoner of war internment place in the Second. There is a rumour (not corroborated- yet) that there is a tunnel under Trinity Road to Wandsworth Prison opposite where captured spies were interrogated. Now called the Royal Victoria Patriotic Building, it is apartments, offices, workshops, a hall, drama college, restaurant and cafe. I used to have an office there myself a few years ago. There is a fabulous chapel on the site, converted to an office, which was for sale/lease a few months back.
