Abbots Langley Hospital. Built 1868 as St. Pancras Industrial School for pauper children. Taken over by Leavesden in 1932 to ease overcrowding of mentally handicapped patients. During the Second World War it was requisitioned by the Emergency Medical Service as a war hospital and in 1943 the No. 23 Canadian General Hospital.
After the war the building became the Leavesden Green Teachers' Training College, but in 1950 it was returned to Leavesden Hospital for use as a long-stay geriatric hospital and renamed Abbots Langley Hospital.
The hospital closed in 1992 and has since been demolished. '
