This is not Hamble-le-rice, it is Netley Abbey.

The British Army’s first purpose-built hospital, The Queen Victoria Hospital was built 1856-1863. Until 1902, the hospital housed the Army Medical School and treated thousands of wounded servicemen in the Second Boer War, First World War and Second World War.



In 1963, a fire destroyed part of the main building and the hospital was demolished in 1966 with only the chapel being retained.
