Description
Built 1887-88 by John T Chappell to designs by Clarke & Micklethwaite. The building replaced the Brighton & Hove Dispensary, Western District, which has previously been based at 4 Farm Road, but had outgrown the site. Two storeys and of red brick, it incorporates numerous plain and stepped gables, tall chimneys and slate roofs. A decorative panel to its south elevation states ‘This Hospital wing was erected in memory of Carr Burton Esq. by his widow Mary Penny Burton’, alongside the date 1888 and a coat of arms. A new wing was added in 1926 and 1934. The hospital closed in 1997 and has been converted to flats. Source: Middleton 2002
