The East London Hospital for Children - a short history of a fascinating hospital

#OTD in 1666, the governors of St Bartholomew's Hospital met to discuss 'the Terrible and Unmercifull Fire' which had started the day before. The hospital archives were protected by the governors' order to remove the hospital records to Hornsey for safekeeping (no mention of patients though!)

We were at Homerton Hospital today to discuss a potential new acquisition. Although it's now part of a separate Trust, when it opened it had strong links to St Bartholomew's - reflected in the logo on this plaque of the old City and Hackney Health Authority, and the Bart's shield #NHS#history
