The 1948 telephone directory says it is was at "gr. fl., 1 Babington Path".

You can see the site in this photo, http://gwulo.com/node/16055, though I'm not sure if the building in that photo is the same building that would be there in 1948.

Hi David

The hospital opened in 1941, however the building was likely constructed c1925 replacing Belvoir Lodge. It was known as Juvinex Lodge in the 1930s. See here and here.

Building was demolished c1957 to build the present buildings on site - Ping On Mansion, Sung Ling Mansion, Carol Mansion and Minerva House. A hospital extension (site of Carol Mansion), was built on the tennis court of Edenhall next door, possibly when the building opened as a hospital in 1941. The extension was connected to the original building with a walkway.
