Description

The photographer's notes state: 'View southeast across the lawn from the large oak, at the intersection of the two terraces, of the main hospital buildings. French oak near left. Chapel on extreme right'.

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