16 WELLINGTON ROAD

Built about 1860 this was one of the largest houses in this road of notably large villas. For most of its life it was in private occupation but during 1927, when known as Apsley House, it became the Northern Branch of Sussex Maternity and Women’s Hospital and remained so for upwards of twenty years. It finished its life as the Nurses Home of the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Sick Children. Photographed in January 1967, the houses have since been demolished and the empty site now awaits redevelopment. In its early years the road was called Wellington Road Villas.
