214a Cambridge Rd, Bethnal Green
« on: Tuesday 27 January 09 13:17 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone know if  214a Cambridge Road, Bethnal Green was a hospital in 1933?
A young relative died there , but it wasn't his home address.

Thank you,
Pilly

Pretty sure this was Bethnal Green Hospital, which was pulled down for housing development in the late 1980s.

Yes, Cambridge Road was where the Bethnal Green workhouse infirmary was originally situated (opened in 1900). It became a military hospital during WWI, and then eventually ended up as Bethnal Green Hospital when the NHS started up.

 - there are some photos of it here, exteriors and some interior shots from 1900, as well as an extremely detailed description of how it was in 1900 when it opened.
