Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Watford: The former Cottage Hospital The Cottage Hospital was built in Vicarage Road and opened in 1885 to the designs of the architect C P Ayres. It originally had nine beds, but in 1897, to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, a new six-bed ward and an operating theatre were added, and finally in 1903 two additional six-bed wards plus dining rooms and staff accommodation were added to bring the capacity to 27 beds. Although all the sandstone tablets are very badly eroded, busts of Queen Victoria and King Edward VII are still discernible in the smaller upper tablets to the right and left respectively, presumably representing the 1897 and 1903 extensions.
The building, which is locally listed, has since been converted into offices and is now known as Victoria House. |
