Thanks, I don't know how I missed that  The War Hospital on Chester Road will be probably what was later developed into the Physiotherapy and Geriatric Wards. As one of the VAD hospitals was in Jeffrey Hall, which was the church hall for the Venerable Bede parish church, the one at the Royalty was probably in the Union Congregational Church Social Centre, now the Royalty Theatre.

The hospital, later Ryhope General hospital, came into being at the beginning of the second world war, when huts were established as an emergency hospital close to the main gate of the asylum, to receive casualties from Dunkirk, Up to 1948 it was an ancillary of the administrators at the Cherry Knowle Hospital, then it came under the Sunderland Hospital Management Committee.
The Sunderland Borough Asylum, was also known as Cherry Knowle Hospital, or Ryhope Asylum

Ryhope is still using those huts, it's still open. I worked in them in the 90's. Never saw anything spooky though (unlike the reports from the Royal Infirmary about ghostly nurses)

In Post No 8 Evie refers to two other hospitals -"one in Kayll Road" - this may well have been the VAD Hospital that was in St Gabriel's Church Hall. You can read quite a lot information on the setting up and running of this hospital if you go to the 'Donmouth' website that Stan Mapstone provided a link to. There you will find a link to an article in a Silver Jubilee booklet for St Gabriel's Church tregatrding the hospital.
Regarding the VAD Hospital in The Jeffrey Memorial Hall at the corner of Monk Street/Shore Street, this hospital was more or less adjacent to the Monkwearmouth and Southwick Accident Hospital and also, quite nearby, in the former All Saints' Church Hall in Fulwell Road' there was a 'Rest Hospital'.

Thankyou all for your comments to my post. My partner, who is a nephew of the soldier concerned was born in Kyall Road Hospital and finding all your comments very interesting. Any ideas how I can find out more about the soldier.

11th Durham VA Hospital Social Centre, Sunderland Exact location unknown

Sorry, Barbara
When I looked at your recommended sites, I initially thought they were mainly concerned with graves overseas, so I have studied them again, no luck yet. And I had not noticed the military forum on here either, so I have been busy reading that information. I have found someone with the same name but he was in the East Lancs Regiment, so not sure if correct person. I think I will have to do another post.
best wishes
