H68/GR 1899-1954 Collection 0.91 linear metres Grove Fever Hospital x Grove Hospital , Tooting

The Metropolitan Asylums Board opened the Grove Fever Hospital on a site in Tooting in 1899. The hospital treated patients with infectious diseases such as scarlet fever, diphtheria and enteric fever. During the First World War, it became the Grove Military Hospital with 550 beds, mainly treating soldiers with war injuries. Parts of the hospital were still designated for infectious diseases, tuberculosis and dermatology. In 1920, it returned to be a fever hospital with around 500 beds. In 1930, the London County Council took administrative control of the Hospital. During World War Two, as well as patients with infectious diseases, civilian air-raid casualties were admitted. The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948 under the control of the Wandsworth Hospital Group as the Grove Hospital. Soon after, the Ministry of Health decided to rebuild Saint George's Hospital, Hyde Park Corner on the Grove and Fountain Hospital sites. The Ministry requested that 150 beds at Grove Hospital should be made available to Saint George's Hospital. At a similar time, 50 beds were also made available for patients from Saint James' Hospital in Balham which was temporarily closed for rebuilding. In 1953, the hospital became the responsibility of Saint George's Hospital. By 1958, it was renamed Saint George's Hospital, Tooting Branch.
