City Hospital Wards |

City Hospital The City Hospital was built as an isolation hospital in 1896 to 1903. It was constructed from red sandstone. The hospital was built at Greenbank Drive, to the south of Morningside. It was well away from other houses, when built. About a century later, it was converted to housing, and is now surrounded by new housing. The hospital wards now lie to the north of the new road, Rattray Grove. This photo looks to the NE across Rattray Grove towards three of the old hospital blocks |
