City Hospital Wards |
|
Looking West The City Hospital was built as an isolation hospital in 1896 to 1903. It was constructed from red sandstone. The hospital was built at Greenbank Drive, to the south of Morningside. It was well away from other houses, when built. About a century later, it was converted to housing, and is now surrounded by new housing. The hospital wards lie to the north of the new road, Rattray Grove. I believe that this photo looks to the west towards one of the hospital blocks, the other side of which faced onto the western part of Littlejohn Road. |
