The guy we've found who was there is my OH's granddad who died from TB in 1942, aged 37 - stupidly young, isn't it?
What sort of work was your Granddad in? Just wondering if it made any difference...

He was a Swedish seaman who left home to go to sea  at 15 and never managed to go back.  He married my Grandma and applied for British citizenship, which wasn't completed.  So when WWI started he was still a foreigner, he wasn't interned but was sent to work at a radiator factory in Hull, shovelling hot ashes, a rotten job that seems that led to his condition

See, the OH's granddad father was working in an Oil Mill, (which we think of getting the oil from rapeseed and the like) so...dusty work..
I'm just wondering if there's anything in that x

In 1914 York and the East Riding decided to purchase the Raywell Estate, near Hull, as the location for a jointly run sanatorium.
However, the First World War delayed this project, while at the same time it increased sanatorium demand from discharged soldiers. As the waiting list lengthened, York and the East Riding jointly urged the Local Government Board for permission to proceed with the Raywell scheme.
On the present day OS map the sanatorium site is 3km from Raywell House and Farm so it looks as if the Raywell scheme went ahead
Attached a small part of the 1927 OS map for the area

Thanks very much for that Steve.  It looks as if it was a very pleasant place to convalesce

Is this the site of the current castle Hill hospital?
I haven't lived in Hull long enough to know where everything is, you see.

Hi Castle Hill Hospital was Cottingham Sanatorium Raywell Sanatorium is at Raywell down Heppleworth Road on the estate 0f Raywell I believe it is now something to do with the Scout's & Guides movement. I know this to be true as I used to visit my brother in both of these Sanatorium's in the late 1940's
