Royal Victoria Hospital, Radnor Park Avenue
The hospital opened on Rendezvous Street in Folkestone as the Folkestone Dispensary in 1846.The name was expanded to Folkestone Dispensary and Infirmary and it relocated to a site on Dover Road in Folkestone in 1863. The current general hospital buildings were constructed on Radnor Park Avenue, and opened in 1890, when the name was again changed, this time to the Victoria Hospital. The prefix Royal was added in 1910.
In the 1970s, services were scaled down, with the focusing of regional hospital care in East Kent on the town of Ashford, Kent. In 1973 maternity services were moved to Ashford's Willesborough Hospital. In 1979 the new William Harvey Hospital opened in Ashford (ironically, named after Folkestone's William Harvey), and many other services were transferred here over the following years. The accident and emergency department at Royal Victoria Hospital was closed at that time, leaving it with a minor injuries service https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Victoria_Hospital,_Folkestone
Planning permission has been approved by Folkestone and Hythe District Council under application number Y19/0424/FH for the “demolition of former Royal Victoria Hospital outbuildings, together with the demolition of side and rear extensions to main Royal Victoria Hospital building”.

Seen from Radnor Park, the notice-board on the right directs the public to the Minor Injuries Unit, which is where the white vans are parked on the left hand side of the frame. The rest of the building has been boarded up.
