The view towards Bell Street. The red-brick building nearest the camera - now converted into private apartments - was previously the hospital administration building of the former Brook Hospital, Shooters Hill. Shooters Hill (the A207 road) runs parallel to this street, to the right of the photographer. "The Brook" was closed in 1995 when the Queen Elizabeth (District General) Hospital opened and most of the site was redeveloped into a housing complex, now known as Brook Village. The only remaining former hospital buildings are the water tower, the steward's house (the next one along on the left) the main gate lodge (now a Children's Centre) and this former 'admin' building. Perhaps dating from 1896 - when the hospital was built - the design seems to reflect a Dutch influence.
