Royal West of England Sanitorium Weston Super Mare
« on: Monday 21 July 14 11:14 BST (UK) »
My great grandfather Henry May spent a month or so at the sanatorium around 1913.  Does anyone know if there are surviving records for that time.

Aha!  The building was the West of England Sanitorium (no Royal!) and we've discussed this before:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=686372.0

I posted a link then, so here it is again:
 http://archiseek.com/2013/west-of-england-sanatorium-weston-super-mare-somersetshire/#.U2zM4ChWiuQ

This later became The Royal Hospital, and was situated at the southern end of the Promenade.
Now converted to flats and called Royal Sands.
