Conceived as a nursing home for Freemasons before World War I, in its time the Royal Masonic Hospital was the largest private medical facility in England. The Hospital treated thousands of servicemen during both world wars and its surgeons developed techniques that influenced NHS treatments. Located at Ravenscourt Park from 1931, the Hospital’s striking architecture won awards and its nurse training was highly-regarded. This presentation by exhibition curator Susan Snell will reveal the Hospital’s fascinating history using images from archives, photographs and films.
