Mouse Posted 26 June , 2017 Share Posted 26 June , 2017 Hi All I think it would be easier for everyone if i just kept posting the photographs I have under this title. So here are some more. These are in the Treatment room I don't have any names, so if you recognise anyone please let me know. Mouse Mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonmate Posted 26 June , 2017 Share Posted 26 June , 2017 Mouse These photos look like they were taken in the hutted annexes which were built behind the main hospital (no sea view !) to form the Red Cross section during WW1 to increase the bed capacity to 2500.

jgreen Posted 27 June , 2017 Share Posted 27 June , 2017 Hello again, these are the copies of photos that we have in our archives at the park. They are just on copier paper, no originals. Do you recognise any at all?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 27 June , 2017 Share Posted 27 June , 2017 Netley Hospital had its own station and platform - I believe it's still possible to make it out on the ground. This might be T H Wilcox: there's only one Wilcox with those initials in the Medal Cards index in TNA. http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D5869260 I can't say I've seen the actual photographs before, however: does Google Image Search bring any of them up? Otherwise Southampton or Hampshire Archives, or the Imperial War Museum might be the place to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Posted 28 June , 2017 Author Share Posted 28 June , 2017 Hi Julie Yes the photograph is of my Great Uncle, Thomas Howard Wilcox, Royal Garrison Artillery 140997. I haven't seen that one before but I may have a negative, as I haven't started on them yet. He was at Netley 1919/20 so would have bee 20/21 yrs old. I don't remember any of the train pictures as when he was alive we only went through a few of the photographs. I only have about half of what was there and my sister took the rest to the Netley Museum, about 1983 just after he had died. I know some of the photographs printed on Post cards were sold on as I found some of the Pier for sale. But I have the negative so have had them re printed.

Mouse Posted 29 June , 2017 Author Share Posted 29 June , 2017 sea Jane Just checked on the National Archive. The Thomas H Wilcox isn't my Great Uncle. Uncle Tom was a Gunner Layer, with the Royal Garrison Artillery. The Archive one is Thomas Henry Wilcox he coursed some problems when trying to find my Gt Uncle. Thanks for looking. Mouse Also Thanks Soton for the information it all helps with the big picture Mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan24 Posted 29 June , 2017 Share Posted 29 June , 2017 The steam loco in post #4 is a British Railways Standard Class 3 tank. This dates those pics to after 1952 but before 1958 when the hospital closed. The other railway pics will possibly be the same date. The lorry shown in one looks 1950s. Perhaps they date from 1956 when the hospital was home to Hungarian refugees. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BR_Standard_Class_3_2-6-2T Alan.

Mouse Posted 30 June , 2017 Author Share Posted 30 June , 2017 Sea Jane No problem. It got me as well. Shame they didn't record all Christian names then. Mouse Alan If they are my Great Uncles photos they may be of the branch line that ran at the bottom of our garden in Liverpool. Now the Liverpool to Huntscross Line. I don't know why he would take photographs of them. The bottom picture could be Mersey Road station now Aigburth, but it's not very clear so couldn't say for sure.

Whilst only 45 of those locomotives were built, some were based in Chester and Wrexham when newly built in 1952. Some were also based at Eastleigh which would fit with Netley but on second thoughts I did think it odd that they would still be bringing in casualties by train in the 1950s. Therefore the conclusion is that the railway photos in post#4 have nothing to do with Netley after all. Incidentally, I shall be at the Royal Victoria Country Park next Saturday for a family picnic. regards Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
