Emily Jackson Hospital, Eardley Road, Sevenoaks, Kent

The hospital was designed in 1901 by T G Jackson for his sister Emily. She devoted her life to working with children crippled by Tuberculosis and wanted a purpose-built hospital for them. It was built in William and Mary style to a butterfly plan which is very unusual for a hospital. It was originally called the Children's Hip Hospital. It is now a care home.
