H68/AM 1938 - 1983 Collection 1.38 linear metres Atkinson Morley Hospital , Wimbledon

Atkinson Morley Hospital, Copse Hill, Wimbledon was founded in 1869, following a donation from Atkinson Morley, as a convalescent home for patients at Saint George's Hospital. Atkinson Morley was a Governor of Saint George's. During the Second World War, a neurosurgery unit was established at the hospital by Sir Wylie McKissock. After the war, it was decided to develop the hospital as a neuroscience centre and to gradually reduce its use as a convalescent home. In 2003, the neurology services were relocated to a purpose built wing at Saint George's Hospital, Tooting and the hospital closed. The Wolfson Rehabilitation Centre remained on the site in Wimbledon.

The hospital has been administered by the following:

1869 - 1948: Atkinson Morley Hospital/ Saint George's Hospital
