Légende

The new Hospital for Sick Children, Brighton, 1881. 'The Hospital [recently erected in the Dyke Road] was originated twelve years ago, when there was no institution in Brighton where children could be separately treated, except in cases of a surgical nature. The new building, in the Queen Anne style of architecture, is constructed of red brick with terra-cotta dressings and mouldings, and, standing in its own grounds on an eminence in the northwest part of the town, it commands extensive views in every direction, though itself almost hidden by trees. There are four wards with seventy-four beds. All the walls of the principal wards are lined with Mycene marble, which, being non-absorbent and easily cleaned, has peculiar advantages from a sanitary point of view. There is accommodation for ninety patients altogether...The architect is Mr. T. Lainson'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
