Completed: TB Hospital?
« on: Friday 20 January 06 22:12 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone tell me if there were any TB hospitals operating in London, especially that would serve  north / northwest / northcentral London, in about 1910?  I'm looking for a death, and I can't find him.  I know he died of TB, so I'm wondering if he was in some hospital in another district.  Because his name is common, I might have missed him.

thanks

I expect there were several, but the London Chest Hospital which was in the city may be worth a look. I believe that was founded for the treatment of TB. I guess there were others. The London Chest was still open in the 1980s but I am not sure about today.

I recall seeing a programme on TV which said that many were sent to the seaside (and indeed abroad - there was a film of some in Switzerland) to recouperate. May have to cast your net a bit wider...

sorry!

I suppose it depends how well off they were as to weather they went abroad or not. It was usual for them to go to the coast though for the sea air.

They were people of very modest means as far as I can determine.  Father was a tradesman employee with, I think, a steady job.  An interesting question as to whether they would have been able to afford the seaside;  I'm sure they would not have been in a position to go out of country.
Thank you for your suggestions.  If there are anymore, they would be welcome as well.
Can anyone tell me where the Brompton is/was?
Maybe I'll just have to trawl for anyone who was of the correct age and see what comes up.
thanks again.

I think the Brompton hospital is in west London so it may be a bit far away from where your family lived. There is quite a lot on the history of the hospital if you just Google Brompton Hospital and its on British History Online.

Ah, so it's still there;  thank you.
So, I need to be able to match up these hospitals with Registration Districts.
Can you suggest which would be the corresponding Registration Districts?
Brompton - Kensington?  (SW3)
London Chest Hospital - Holborn?  (E2)
Grove Park - SE12 would Catford be a Reg'n District?

I found this list of current hospitals:
http://www.medinet.co.uk/phlonhos.htm
Several are termed "Chest Clinics".  e.g. Edgware, Edmonton, Islington, in the areas that concern me.  Does anyone know if they would they likely have been TB hospitals?
