Description

The photographer's notes state: 'The main staircase from the W. door of the old drawing room. Billiard room with door into the entrance hall lobby at back'. [The old drawing room can be seen in BB71/08759]

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.
