Hull Sanitorium?
« on: Tuesday 01 September 09 15:18 UTC (UK) »
We've just received a death certificate which tells us that our ancestor died at 'Hull Sanatorium' in 1942 of TB...

I have discovered that this was at Castle Hill, Cottingham...are there any dregs left of the old place left up there are has it all gone - and, where might I find out info about the place please? (Goggles doesn't seem to want to help me, maybe I'm putting the wrong stuff in..)
Oh, and if anyone has any photos..?


Thanks

If you goggle 'sanitorium Cottingham' you get a few hits

http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=66784

City Hospital (later the Castle Hill Hospital). A hospital for infectious diseases was built in Hedon Road in 1885.  It moved to Cottingham, into newly erected buildings, in 1928. There were 263 beds in 1948 (fn. 406) and 160 in 1963

Thanks - that's about as much information that I'd been able to find as well.

I also found this:
Hull Sanatorium (later the Castle Hill Sanatorium). A sanatorium at Cottingham was built in 1916. There were 158 beds in 1948 (fn. 414) and 212 in 1963. (fn. 415)

I guess I'm hoping for more information than just 'this was built then', you know? x

Records holdings shown here:  http://www.rootschat.com/links/070m/

Records are held at Hull City Archives, which is moving to new premises, so I don't know when you'll be able to see any records
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/archon/searches/locresult_details.asp?LR=49

I tried to get my Grandfather's records a few years ago, but sadly there were none. He was at the Sanatorium though he died at home in 1920, you maybe luckier in that yours are more recent records

I shall certainly have a look in the records for him, thanks hon x

I'm hoping to find more about the place itself, and pictures, but as you say I may have to wait for the history centre thing to open!

You are a bloomin' star!
There are pictures there of the old TB wards, just the sort of thing I was after x

Now, wouldn't it be great to find out if he was actually in ward 15, the TB ward in the photo!

I've been trying to find where I put the letter telling me there were no records for my Grandad (misfiled somewhere I think!)

I found a letter he sent to my Grandma while he was there, which gives a bit of an idea of what things were like.  He had told the Dr he was tired of bed, so he was allowed to get up for an hour that afternoon, so he sunbathed outside.  One of the other patients said he was the most marvellous case in the hospital, as he had seen him running up the veranda in the middle of the night (to go to the W.C!). However he finishes the letter by saying he would write more but was aching all over.

He died of TB in 1920, aged 34  Sad

The guy we've found who was there is my OH's granddad who died from TB in 1942, aged 37 - stupidly young, isn't it?
What sort of work was your Granddad in? Just wondering if it made any difference...

He was a Swedish seaman who left home to go to sea  at 15 and never managed to go back.  He married my Grandma and applied for British citizenship, which wasn't completed.  So when WWI started he was still a foreigner, he wasn't interned but was sent to work at a radiator factory in Hull, shovelling hot ashes, a rotten job that seems that led to his condition

See, the OH's granddad father was working in an Oil Mill, (which we think of getting the oil from rapeseed and the like) so...dusty work..
I'm just wondering if there's anything in that x

In 1914 York and the East Riding decided to purchase the Raywell Estate, near Hull, as the location for a jointly run sanatorium.
However, the First World War delayed this project, while at the same time it increased sanatorium demand from discharged soldiers. As the waiting list lengthened, York and the East Riding jointly urged the Local Government Board for permission to proceed with the Raywell scheme.
On the present day OS map the sanatorium site is 3km from Raywell House and Farm so it looks as if the Raywell scheme went ahead
Attached a small part of the 1927 OS map for the area

Thanks very much for that Steve.  It looks as if it was a very pleasant place to convalesce

Is this the site of the current castle Hill hospital?
I haven't lived in Hull long enough to know where everything is, you see.
