Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, Fulham Road, Kensington and Chelsea, London, 28/01/1991. Sir William Doughty and John Allen crouched beside a coniferous sprig planted in concrete during the topping out ceremony at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. Laing Management Contracting worked on the construction of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital on behalf of the North West Thames Regional Health Authority between 1989 and 1993. The new teaching hospital was built on the site of the old St Stephen’s Hospital, which was demolished in the early months of 1989. The use of fast track construction techniques enabled the entire project to be completed in less than 5 years. The hospital was officially opened by the Queen on 13 May 1993. At the time of the photograph, Sir William Doughty was Chairman of the North West Thames Regional Health Authority and John Allen was Chairman of Laing Management.
