Unidentified Hospital Photo on Leodis.

The Leodis one for comparison.

The three courses of light coloured brickwork seen in the Leodis photo are also missing, something that would take a near complete rebuild to achieve and the triangles are much flatter than the sharply angled ones in the Leodis photo, the plinths they sit on are also different.

Thanks for sharing the link dogduke.I agree the Colinwood Hospital is very similar in style to the unknown picture but the finer details of the brickwork & stonework ( as noted by Kango) are different. Maybe its still a case of close but no cigar! I could imagine LCC causing a mixup between Leeds & London. The unknown photo was taken by the Beryl of York so its more likely to be a Yorkshire hospital.

I thought it was worth taking another look at this photo which still appears in the "Can you Help" section of Leodis.
There are now 36 comments under the photo. see http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... SPLAY=FULLThe photo is signed Beryl of York and a relative of the photographer narrowed down the timeframe to 1927-1931 and the area is likely to be Yorkshire (but not necessarily Leeds although it was originally labelled "Cookridge Hospital , Leeds" - which is known to be incorrect).
Dogduke thought he had nailed this when he identified it as the Central London Sick Asylum District , Middlesex , later renamed Colindale Hospital , near Hendon. There are more photos here http://www.workhouses.org.uk/CentralLondonSAD/. Some in colour which show that the architect used some very similar decorative features to the Leodis building.
The architects were a firm called "Giles , Gough and Trollope " with offices in Charing Cross London. In the late Victorian early Edwardian period 1880- 1910, these architects designed a number of large Workhouses and Asylums across the country ( eg Wales , Somerset , Staffordshire ). Many of these workhouses later became hospitals: military hospitals during WW1 , or in the 1920's when workhouses were abolished some became mental hospitals.
Looking at photos of hospitals designed by Messers Giles, Gough, Trollope, a number of their buildings built around 1900 use very similar architectural features (namely distinctive pointed/ triangular pediments above windows and horizontal bands of paler brickwork found in the Leodis photo and the Colindale Hospital).

A few examples are Hammersmith Workhouse 1903

Bethnal Green Military Hospital 1900

St Mary's Hospital Burghill Hereford
c.1900 addl ward wings
I am not suggesting any of these are an exact match for the Leodis hospital photo but it would be very interesting to know whether there are any workhouses, asylums or hospitals in Yorkshire designed by Messrs Giles, Gough and Trollope.

Haven't got a clue which hospital it may be but I do know St Mary's Hospital, Burghill, Hereford from the 60's when I lived in Hereford. I had a 3x great grandfather who died there. It was also Hereford where I joined the Army.

Hi BS, There's lots of information about this hospital online. I didn't include a photo because it has the lines of pale bricks but not the pointed pediments over the windows. It looks as though some of the wards have been converted to flats and the brickwork looks as good as new even though it is over 100 years old.
