Work is underway to transform one of Britain s oldest hospitals into homes.
St Bartholomew s Hospital, in Rochester, was closed in 2016 and is now being converted into 155 homes despite fears of loss of local history.
KMTV report on the development
Aspenisle Ltd s £1.4 million scheme will see the vacant building revamped with houses and apartments planned for the New Road health centre over the next three years.
Rochester West ward councillor, Cllr Stuart Tranter (Con), said: Towards the end of last year, people were getting worried thinking the new building was looking derelict.
