Maintenance History

2009: Memorial tablet and dedication tablet / foundation stone mounted on wall to right of main entrance of North Wing, in front of Hornsey Memorial Chapel. Tablet is floodlit at night. Architectural features from the old South Ward's arched doorway have been utilised and incorporated into the Remembrance Garden. The two plinths on either side of the door, inscribed 1914 and 1919 each with a carved cross above the dates, are sited at the entrance to the lawned area of the garden. The three stone benches in the Remembrance Garden behind the wall were constructed from sections of the doorway and the colonnaded window which the tablet was originally above. May 2007: The memorial has been removed, in sections, and placed in secure storage. It is unknown whether architectural features, also part of the memorial, have been saved. When the new centre is ready the memorial will be remounted. March 2007: Hospital demolished including South Ward, only Borough of Hornsey memorial chapel preserved. 2001: Hospital under threat of demolition. English Heritage does not consider it of sufficient special architectural or historic interest to merit listing as a whole. The Borough of Hornsey memorial chapel will be preserved. 1925: The South ward erected and the foundation stone was laid by Mrs Anderson. The memorial tablet to 2nd Lt Anderson was mounted above the entrance door of the South Ward. 1910: Hospital opened.
