Part of the old Buckland Hospital, Coombe Valley Road
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of £300-320,000 by Clive Emson, property and land auctioneers http://www.cliveemson.co.uk/ but the website shows it was withdrawn prior to the auction.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 This building has the words “Buckland Hospital” painted on the blue board!
