The last surviving wartime buildings are used as the Refectory (centre) and Spraying Machinery Centre (left). There were dozens of such buildings when Imperial College bought the property in 1947, and all but these are now demolished. During the Second World War, Silwood was used as a military hospital. The rose in bloom by the Refectory door is Rosa 'Constance Spry'.
