It was reported in the Kent Messenger on the 24 May 2016 that some of the former Buckland Hospital site, which extends to just over 4 acres, was to be sold at auction on 13 June at a freehold guide price of £300-320,000 by Clive Emson, property and land auctioneers http://www.cliveemson.co.uk/ but the website shows it was withdrawn prior to the auction. The premises opened in September 1836 as a workhouse and offered, up to 500 people in poverty, accommodation and employment opportunities. In 1948 it became a hospital with the launch of the NHS http://www.kentnews.co.uk/news/former_buckland_hospital_site_in_dover_to_be_sold_at_auction_next_month_1_4547278
