City Hospital 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. |

Looking West This view looks to the west along Greenbank Road. The photo was taken following a snow shower on Christmas Eve 2009, at the entrance to the former City Hospital. Here is another photo, looking to the west along Greenbank Road. |
