Edmonton Miltary Hospital [England]
brief history:
It was opened in 1910 as the infirmary for a workhouse, separated by an iron fence, although shared common entrance.
In 1915 it was handed over to the military as a special military surgical hospital for orthopaedic cases in Silver Street, Edmonton.
The site had many buildings and was transferred back in 1920 to become the North Middlesex hospital.
