Queen Mary's Hospital was a children's hospital in Carshalton, London, England.
History
The hospital was built as the Southern Hospital in 1908.[1] However, as local requirements changed, it was converted into a children's hospital and opened as the Children's Infirmary in 1909.[2] After a visit by Queen Mary it became Queen Mary's Hospital for Children in 1915.[1] Six new blocks were completed in 1930.[1] It was heavily bombed during the Second World War and, after the war, it joined the National Health Service in 1948.[1] After services transferred to St Helier Hospital, Queen Mary's Hospital closed in 1993.[1] Orchard Hill Hospital, a facility providing long-stay mental health services to adults, remains on the site.[1]
