The Shrewsbury Road frontage of Shrewsbury Court Independent Hospital, a private hospital on Whitepost Hill, providing psychiatric rehabilitation services for patients suffering from long term mental illness. The first building on the site (not seen in this photo) dates from 1871, when the Reigate Cottage Hospital moved here from Albert Road North (see Image) and was renamed the Reigate and Redhill Cottage Hospital. A wing was added in 1907 with the extension along Shrewsbury Road (seen here) being added in 1923. Over the years, the name changed a number of times, initially to the Reigate and Redhill Hospital, then the Reigate and Redhill General Hospital and from 1923 the East Surrey Hospital. From 1980, its role began to transfer to Redhill General Hospital, with total closure in 1983, with the building subsequently taking on its current role.
