Hospital Road 1870s

Submitted by Herostratus on Tue, 2016-05-24 13:16
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1875
Places shown in this photo: 
London Mission Chapter House [????- ]
Water Tank at the Top of Pound Lane [????-????]
Beauregard - London Missionary Society (LMS) Compound - IL 590 [????-????]
Glenseskin [????-????]
"The Castle" [1868-????]
"The Hut" [????- ]
Burnside - Choa family home [1880-????]

This later picture is taken from almost exactly the same place. Date is a guess, but I have other photos dates 1870s/1880 is these tones Also Burnside, (or Excelsior) seems to be missing,  there is a lower building in its place (I think this low building is actually Burnside and the larger two storied building seen in the later photo is Excelsior). Hospital and Bonham Road look rougher with lower quality retaining walls.

Building prior to Nethersole Hospital. Unsure of what it was used for but it is in a similar sytle to other chapter/mission houses I have seen. It is where the day to dat work of the Mission was carried out.
