Hanwell: St Bernard's Hospital
St Bernard's Hospital, once the Middlesex County Lunatic Asylum and the first purpose-built asylum in England and Wales, was opened in 1831. There is a comprehensive history of the place in its Wikipedia article here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanwell_Asylum
The building is Grade II Listed but only the original structure. Numerous wings and other appendages were built as time went by, and, unfortunately, the photographer has selected one of these to record. This wing is not present on the 1896 Ordnance Survey map, but is present on the edition of 1914. Part of the original female wing, now listed, can be glimpsed on the left.

Hanwell: St Bernard's Hospital Lodge and Chapel
These buildings are the West Lodge and, behind it, the Chapel to St Bernard's Hospital, once the Middlesex County Lunatic Asylum and the first purpose-built asylum in England and Wales, opening in 1831. There is a comprehensive history of the place in its Wikipedia article here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanwell_Asylum
The lodge is shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1868 so certainly dates from before. There was once an East Lodge too, but that has since been demolished.
The chapel is later, dating from 1880, and was built at the northern end of the asylum's original chapel.
Both the lodge and the chapel are Grade II Listed Buildings.
