I've just received the death certificate of my g.uncle. It shows he died on 29 September 1933 at 199 Dartmouth Park Hill. Under occupation it states Railway Shunter of 45 Islip St, St Pancras. This was obviously his home address as it is the address given by the informant his widow.
As he was suffering from TB I wondered if 199 Dartmouth Park Hill, was some sort of hospital. I did Google the address and found someone's family tree, where they state that an ancestor died of a stroke at 199 Darmouth Park Hill.

I think It's St Pancras Infirmary.

At the time of your g. uncle's death may have been already known as Highgate Hospital, see:

Some records are now held at the LMA:

Thanks to Pauline and JoRose. I guess that if it was known as Dartmouth Park Hill, the locals probably carried on using that name.

Very interested to find this as I've discovered today that my Great Aunt Emily was born at Dartmouth Hill in 1892 and wondered where and what it was!
Thank you!
