which London Hospital has this nurses uniform?

[caimin]

Hi
Trying to find out info about my grand aunt. Born in 1878, she trained as a nurse in Sir Patrick Dun’s, Dublin,probably as an army nurse. The Heritage Centre at the Royal College of Physician, Ireland, believe she is wearing some type of nurses outfit in the portrait. The portrait was made   by Alfred Hughes, who had a shop at 433 Strand, London 1891-1931. Can anyone identify the hospital with which this uniform may be associated? I am assuming it would have to have been in the central London area. Thank you for taking the time to look.
Kind regards.

Hi,

Welcome to Rootschat.   

I have a photo of a my 2xgt. aunt wearing a similar outfit; she was a midwife in Camberwell and it was her outdoor "uniform".

Thank you Nanny Jan
I found a photo online of a lady in a similar outfit. Apparently it was the 'off-duy' uniform(!) but it didn't state which hospital. I will have a look and see what hospitals were in the Camberwell area.
Thanks again for your reply

Good evening,

The Maudsley one side of Denmark Hill and Kings College directly opposite. A little to the south is Kings College Hospital Dulwich and to the west in Stockwell is South London and Maudsley trust hospital.

Good evening,

A little further research shows that the Dulwich site was built in 1887 as the Southwark Infirmary. In WW1 it became the Southwark Military hospital.

When the poor act was repealed in 1930 it became the Dulwich Hospital and in 1974 it was aligned with Kings College Hospital. This as one of several satellite sites doing various different work.

The site in Stockwell is very modern and is the Lambeth Hospital. The original Lambeth Hospital was further north on Brook Drive and is now partly housing amongst other things. http://ezitis.myzen.co.uk/lambeth.html

Back again,

This part of the site gives a list of all the hospitals, St Giles and St Olaves are not too distant from the Camberwell area. At the bottom of each is a list of links which may give you historical info, I didn't look at them. http://ezitis.myzen.co.uk/gazetteer.html

Hi John915
We were away camping over the weekend, apologies for being a bit slow to get back to you.
Thank you very much indeed for the information in your last two posts. I will definitely contact those hospitals to see if they can help.
Thanks again, it's very much appreciated.
Kind Regards
