North Eastern Fever Hospital circa 1905
In 1890 a suitable 19-acre site for a new fever hospital in North East London had been identified in Tottenham by the Metropolitan Asylums Board (MAB). It was to have been the last of a series to be built for the Board, covering the geographical points of London - the first being the North Western in Hampstead (1870), followed by the South Western (1871), the Eastern (1871), the Western (1877), the South Eastern (1877) and the Northern (1887), but the Local Government Board had vetoed its purchase at a cost of £12,000.
I’ve lived here for years & until the last few days had never visited the St Ann’s hospital site. If you’ve never been before, you MUST go!! Turn right…
