File:Royal Orthopaedic Hospital - Bristol Road South, Northfield (6949202519).jpg

I came back to Northfield, as I found out that there was a blue plaque on the building.

I knew that I couldn't take it right next to the building, so I tried from the crossing, but there was bushes in the way.

I then tried to get the plaque from the other side of the road. Had to go to digital zoom in one one (hard to get it in the centre).

It is at a site called The Woodlands. George Cadbury gave the house and land to the hospital in 1907.

From the above link:

In 1907, Mr. George Cadbury gave a house and land known as The Woodlands in Northfield to the Crippled Children’s Union. In 1925, the Royal Orthopaedic and Spinal Hospital and the Birmingham Cripples Union amalgamated and King George V approved the title “The Royal Cripples Hospital, Birmingham” being bestowed upon the Hospital. In the 1920’s and 1930’s, the Hospital was able to invest in outpatient facilities at Broad Street, inpatient facilities at the Woodlands and other convalescent facilities.

The building is Grade II listed.
