City Hospital Wards |
|
Looking East 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 lie to the north of the new road, Rattray Grove. I believe that this photo looks to the east across the to western part of Littlejohn Road towards one of the old hospital blocks. |
