I was diagnosed with Scoliosis and spent 3 weeks on the children's ward. I met lots of friends and the nursing staff were great. When we heard it was to close down my family and I went to fund-raises but unfortunately it still closed. My husband and I recently went to Alton and when we got to the area where the hospital was, all I found were houses. I have very fond memories of the hospital.

RE: RE: Hospital Memories

Nicola,

We went up there a few months back in search for a house to photograph for a photography project and found that there are still 2 building up there, the first is a house called 'Robertson House', which is still in pretty good shape, and another white building (can't find the name), which is in a dire state, the roof has fallen in a parts of the building's structure are falling apart.

At the back of 'Robertson House' we found a old tower, which we think could have been a watch tower of some sort, although I am not certain.

If you visit Alton again I suggest you have a look up the back of the estate, I don't think either of the buildings are this building, but it could still be good to see the site as it is now.
