Re: Old views of Sydenham Hill
Actually, the "Babies' Hospital" is still there. It is Beltwood, next to the Dulwich Wood House. It was a babies hospital from about 1949 to 1962. I was told by an elderly resident that it was for "naughty girls", ie unmarried mothers. I'm not sure whether that's true or not.Wispy Wonder wrote:The Baby Hospital seems a particularly sad loss...
