Convalescent (military)
The Lambeth Auxiliary Hospital opened in July 1916 in Homedale, a large mansion in Upper Norwood.  It had 16 beds and was affiliated to the Mile End Military Hospital.

At the end of November 1917 the Hospital transferred to Woodhall in College Road, Dulwich.

Present status (October 2010)

Nothing remains of the house.  The whole area has been redeveloped and now contains Turkey Oak Close, Hamlyn Gardens and Homelands Drive, off Church Road.

Homelands Drive
Looking up Homelands Drive, perhaps the original driveway to Homedale.
