Postcards

A postcard of the London Chest Clinic, which moved into the old Emergency Hospital buildings in 1947 as it needed a countryside retreat for its convalescing patients. By the mid 1960s the chest clinic had handed back all the hutted area and out buildings to what was then Fairfield Hospital.

A colour multi-view postcard, posted in  May 1908, showing the asylum chapel (St Luke's), a nice wide shot of the Asylum front, and Arlesey high street with the Asylum entrance on the right.
