Description

The photographer's notes state: 'The same view in Summer'. [The view he is referring to is described in the notes for BB71/08722 as 'View southeast across the lawn from the large oak, at the intersection of the two terraces, of the main hospital buildings']

Frognal House is 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.
