' The Rosherville Hotel / Rosherville V.A.D. Hospital. The hotel and bar (the Shades) were built about 1850 and were very popular with visitors from London arriving by steamers. See http://www.dover-kent.com/2014-project-a/Rosherville-Hotel-Northfleet.html and http://www.dover-kent.com/2018-Project/Rosherville-Shades-Northfleet.html but note that the address should be Burch Road, not Pier Road. Prior to the First World War, the hotel was empty but was requisitioned after the outbreak of hostilities. The Voluntary Aid Detachment Hospital opened in November 1914 as the Yacht Club V.A.D. Hospital about 500 yards to the east (opened in October 1914) was already full. It initially had 64 beds, rising to 126 in 1917.
