Harold Wood Hospital was a hospital in London, United Kingdom. It was located in Gubbins Lane, Harold Wood, in the London Borough of Havering. London South Bank University Havering campus is located at the hospital site.

The hospital was opened in 1909 by West Ham County Borough council, as the Grange convalescent home for children, which operated with the nearby Plaistow fever hospital. The Grange had been a private house, built in 1884 by John Compton, owner of the Gubbins estate. The convalescent home was maintained by the county borough until the Second World War, as an emergency hospital. After the war it became a permanent hospital, and in the 1960s was significantly enlarged.

The hospital later became part of the Barking, Havering and Redbridge Hospitals NHS Trust. It was closed on 13 December 2006 with patients and functions relocated to Queen's Hospital and to King George Hospital. The site vacated by the hospital has been earmarked for a 470-home housing development. The original plan to keep certain NHS facilities has been superseded and the entire plot has been approved for residential development. Local residents are opposing the proposal of over 800 dwellings, including a 9 storey block.

The Mortuary was also used for an episode of Eastenders

As we were driving virtually past this after our visit to Marconi, thought it rude not to pop in seeing as my exploring buddy for the day had not been before. Not much changed the main hospital building is not that interesting really and looking a bit more trashed, thankfully the reason we have been here before the morgue is still looking pristine.....Smiley

Good stuff!   I really like your first autopsy table shot.   A suggestion:  if you number your shots for us it is much easier to comment on them.   Smiley

Don't judge me unless you have looked through my eyes, experienced what I have and cried as many tears as me.  Until then back off, cause you have no idea.

Wow!  36 passenger cooler, 3 chopping blocks.  High volume operation, no waiting!  Interesting dents in the doors from the years of operation.
