A little test for you

What is the former name of this building?

Where is it?

What is the connection with WW2 aviation?

It is indeed the former Royal Herbert Hospital, now converted to flats.

The conection with aviation is that during the war, there were two wards there for the more seriously injured Luftwaffe POWs. My user-namesake died there in 1940.

No, it’s the one next to the Brook, on the corner.

I thought Mr Lom would give it to you! Try a sherbert dab, it might inspire you.

You obviously know the area?

Ewan is right on the location, but it isn’t the Queen Elizabeth. The building in the photo is still there.

Re the traffic, the photos were taken mid-morning, and the road was surprisingly quiet, so no trickery with any editing.

Mr Lom would know the name 😉

Mrs Miggins tea rooms just outside RAF Hawkinge??

Seriously though, is it the old hospital in Shooters Hill Road, Woolwich? Not sure what the connection is, but it looks familiar

Just adding to that. The Queen Elizabeth Military Hospital? Now replaced with a (newer) building.
How on earth did you manage to get no traffic? Or did you photoshop it out. 🙂

Why don’t you ask the bloke who took the pictures if you don’t know, might even be able to give you a clue to its location…;)
