Thumbnail for The nurses' home at the Cold Ash Children's Hospital, in Hermitage Road, c. 1930. There is a tennis court in front of it. It had originally been the home of Miss Agnes Bowditch, founder of the hospital, then the hospital itself, and after 1891, when a new hospital was built, the nurses' home. The hospital was closed in 1964, and in 1971, a new housing development, Sewell Close, was built over the site. 1930-1939: postcard by H. A. Giles, with the caption, "Nurses Hostel Coldash."
