Description

It was built in 1834 by the Society as a small hospital for those unfortunates who got into difficulties while swimming in the Serpentine or who fell through the ice while skating, the Society's boat house can be seen on the left by the shore, it is still there. The Receiving House was damaged by a bomb during WW2 and was demolished in 1954.
