Royal Haslar Hospital
by Samfan » Mon Dec 30, 2013 7:10 pm
Just finished listening to a BBC Radio 4 Coast and Country Podcast on the Royal Haslar Hospital in Gosport, Hampshire. This was founded during the reign of King George the I, and was a hospital for the Royal Navy (and other military branches, and eventually, in the 1970's, civilians also). It apparently closed for good around 2009. The podcast discussed how it had seen military personnel from about as far back as Trafalgar, to WWI to WWII and beyond. The host interviewed a woman who served there on D-Day. The grounds are kept up, as it is a Heritage site, and veterans are encouraged to come and help work the gardens (or just relax on the grounds). They interviewed a veteran who gardens there.
