Description

The photographer's notes state: 'General view of the house, the above oak, and the stables at the rear from S.E'. [The oak to which he is referring can also be seen in BB71/08714]

Frognal House was a large country house which was once the seat of the Viscounts Sydney. In 1917 it became the site of the new Queen’s Hospital (later Queen Mary’s Hospital), a centre for pioneering plastic surgery. The house was later used for many years as administrative offices but is now a retirement home.
