Hi

It was actually the King Edward VII Memorial Sanitorium at Hertford Hill, Near Warwick. Known locally as the "Chest Hospital" It was next door to Central Hospital or Hatton as it was know which was the Mental Institution. The locals lived in fear of being "Sent up the hill" which mainly meant being put into the Central, however it also meant having TB and being put into the chest hospital.

Both hospitals have now been demolished and is one big housing estate now.

Both hospitals were part of South Warwickshire hospital group.

The windows on Warwickshire website has some pictures of Hatton and the chest hospital.

http://www.institutions.org.uk/genealogy/healthcare_development_warwickshire.htm  This has some history of health care and the hospitals mentioned.
