Completed: TB Hospital?

[jax]

I know of a hospital near me that is well known to have been used for TB cases and its right on the seaside (not sure what dates so you may need to research it a bit)

The Royal Sea Bathing Hospital
Margate
Kent

It closed down in the last few years, but if I remember correctly the building still stands. (i moved away 5 years ago)

to look for death here the district would possibly be Thanet District.

maybe worth a look?

Hi Loo

Just an idea, but there is a hospital in Frimley Surrey which has been referred to as the 'Country branch of The Brompton'.

I know it was a T.B. hospital and that the pine trees around Surrey Heath were supposed to be theraputic.

Perhaps your rellie may have been in there?

thank you all, I am taking heed of all your answers.

plus the dreaded "consumption"  was a terrifying disease - and it was not talked about .... So death certificates didn't usually give TB as cause of death -

not so sure of that -TB accounted for around 25% of deaths in London in the 1800s. It was a common cause of death in my family and given on the death certificates as either consumption or phithisis

Finally found him!
It turns out, after some laborious searching, that he died at home of "pulmonary tuberculosis" and "exhaustion".
Thank you all for putting your heads together on this one for me;  I hope the ideas will be useful to someone else as well.
