Chelmsford, Infirmary, 1895.
This may well have been called the Infirmary, so its use didn't change a great deal for many people lots of decades later. It then became the London Road Hospital, and the A. & E. section were accessed down the extreme right of the building. This was to come to an end much later when Broomfield Hospital was first constructed. This same building still stands to-day, being used differently, and can be seen on the Google maps. The centre part was still retained up until about 3 years ago, as the main entrance was used for women who still attended for mammogram examinations. As you entered the main entrance, there were stairs slightly to the right which lead to upstairs. Now this service may well be at the Springfield Hospital.

RE: RE: Chelmsford, Infirmary, 1895.
I still have photographs of myself at the age of three, with a little boy called Geoffrey, in the gardens of London Road Hospital c1951. and wonder how he fared. Later months were spent at Black Notley where I was fortunate to gain full recovery following surgery by Dr Sheppard to whom I have been grateful for another sixty years.
