Report - Delancey Assessment & Rehabilitation Hospital, Cheltenham. April 2011

[vwdirtboy]

The Delancey Hospital, Leckhampton, was founded by the late Miss Delancey, who bequeathed £5,000 for this purpose, but through some informality only £3,750 eventually became available : the late Rev. J. H. L. Gabell gave £1,000 towards the site and £5,365 for the buildings and furniture, and £1,000 Consols as an endowment fund. Opened in 1871 as the Delancey Fever Hospital. Closed by a short minded government intent on destroying all our community hospitals in 2011. 140 years down the shitter and probably destined to end up a Tesco local or suchlike..

A leisurely Sunday sunny one accompanied by Incognito Lectrician & his bro. No Dhl this time as he's back in hospital the spotty fucker! Big love Dave and get well soon buddy!

Thanks to Kempes & Clebbs for finding this little gem!
