Julia O'Brien Barming Hospital Maidstone.
« on: Monday 17 February 25 16:55 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I am after any info regarding the Barming Hospital in Barming Maidstone, I had a relative die there in 1933 due to Syphalitic Encephalitus, I wonder if this would of been a psychiatric hospital or a general hospital at this point, and would there be records available to view of her time there.
Thankyou

Oakwood Hospital, Barming, was founded as the Kent County Lunatic Asylum  in 1833.
Closed in 1994.

My Aunt, Ethel Irene Primrose Garrad, worked there in the 1960s.
