Guest macmedal Posted 23 January , 2004 Share Posted 23 January , 2004 The Charing Cross Hospital then was situated close to Charing Cross Railway Station in Agar Street WC1 it was and still is a large imposing building. The hospital closed quite some time ago and moved to Hammersmith in West London (it is still called the Charing Cross Hospital). Knowing the NHS I would be surprised if any patient records survived from WW1. The old hospital in Agar St was refurbished as Charing Cross Police Station in the early 90's.

Sue Light Posted 25 January , 2004 Share Posted 25 January , 2004 Check the Hospital Records Database at: Hospital Records Database By entering the name of the hospital in the search box you will get details of all existing records. It seems that there are indeed some remaining patient records from the WW1 period kept at Charing Cross Hospital itself. Regards - Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
