Deaconess Hospital, c 1985

The back of the present (1989) Deaconess Hospital is visible at the far end of the back greens, (the front is the Pleasance, see Coll-1167/B/27/20/2). This building, now much altered and extended, dates from from 1894. Carnegie Street not visible was on the left. Brown Street, of which the back is shown here, on the right. The square roofed extension at the left back of the hospital can still be identified though a story has been added. The three-storey separate building on the left no longer exists, perhaps it was an annexe or staff quarters (Coll-1167/B/27/20/2). See Image Coll-1167/B/27/20/7. This view is looking west. Handwritten title on the original envelope containing the corresponding glass plate negatives was written by R. Dykes.
