HOSPITAL REPORT for 1900.
To the Chairman and Members of the Willesden Urban
District Council.
Gentlemen,
I beg to present my Report of the Hospital
for the year 1900.
SITUATION.
The Hospital is situated on low ground, about
100 feet above sea level. The soil is a thin stratum
of loam on two or three feet of clay with gravel
underneath. There is a liability to mists in the
autumn. Houses have been built within the last
three years on the east side and partly on the north,
the nearest part of any building being 30 feet from the
fence. The first temporary iron building was opened
for patients in August, 1892, the permanent buildings,
consisting of an isolation block and two hospital
blocks, were commenced to be occupied in November,
