Built by the Metropolitan Asylums Board as a Tuberculosis Isolation Hospital in 1922, Highdown Sanatorium, later the King George V Hospital, was opened to treat tuberculosis among London's poor and working classes. In 1941, a large hutted military hospital was added to the site and housed St. Thomas' Hospital, temporarily evacuated from London. The hospital closed in 1988 and was demolished in 1997. The Hydons estate was built on the site. Further reading at: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/42366842/Teebeeland/KGV/KGV_History.html |
