Monument record TQ 57 SE 1094 - Former site of Stone House hospital
Summary
Stone House Hospital was constructed between 1861 and 1866 to be a mental asylum for the poor of London. The site was chosen to isolate the patients from London, Dartford and nearby villages, but also to be easily accessible by railway. The hospital was designed by James Bunstone Bunning in 'Tudorbethan' style and orignally consisted of an east wing for me and a west wing for women, a dining room, wards, bathroom and corridors.
