A Hospital with a particularly complicated history, it was founded in 1845 in Dalston Place, on the south side of Dalston Lane. It offered free treatment to German-speaking immigrants, regardless of religion or origin, many of whom worked and lived in poor conditions in the East End of London, although it idid not discriminate and also cared for English-speakers in emergencies. In fact, most of its out-patients were the English poor. The Hospital occupied three houses converted from the Dalston Infant Orphan Asylum, and had 12 beds.
By 1850 the building of the North London railway track had progressed through the area; the cutting ran behind the Hospital, severing it from its garden. This no doubt stimulated the Governors to build new premises in the garden. The new building opened in 1864, and the Dalston Lane frontage was rented out.
The Hospital now had 100 beds with a front entrance in Alma Road (which was renamed Ritson Road in 1877). Access from Dalston Lane was restored in 1867, when a bridge was built over the railway line.
By 1890 the Hospital had 142 beds.
A Sisters' House was added in 1911. Another block was added in 1912.
During WW1 the German staff remained at the Hospital, despite strong anti-German feelings from the local population.
By 1931 the Hospital had 161 beds. A new 5-storey wing opened in 1936, housing the maternity and children's wards, and a roof garden for convalescents which enabled views right across London. There were then 192 beds.
During WW2 the German staff were arrested in 1940 and interned on the Isle of Man as enemy aliens. English staff took over the running of the Hospital.
In 1948 it joined the NHS as a general hospital, with 217 beds. From 1974, during one of the many NHS reorganisations, it became a psychiatric and psychogeriatric Hospital.
By 1976 it was partially empty and finally closed in 1987, with 95 beds. Its services were transferred to the new Homerton Hospital. It is now private residential apartments.
Hey Flickr!
This is the first WW2 era house I've ever built and I'm kind of in love with how it turned out. It will be featured in that collab for BBTB. Let me know what y'all think about it and where I can make any improvements. Ideally I would have added ODG as another main color but I only had a few pieces. I didn't realize that the closed windows on the back have the grooves vertical, they should be horizontal. This is also the first time I have edited multiple photos into a collage like this, If any of you have editing tips please do share :)
Wont have access to Flickr for the following week but Ill have some stuff ready to post when I return.
Enjoy!

For this field airport "Pohledec Mountain" is a 10x10 km impenetrable forest. Here parachutists jumped off the RAF and parachutists from the USSR. SS tried to prevent it, but members of the SS were killed with knives directly on motorbikes. My native land was meaningless and therefore it circled the fascists rather than risk big losses.
Za tímto polním letištěm "Pohledecká hora u Nového města na Moravě" je 10x10 km neprostupný les. Zde seskakovali parašutisté RAF i parašutisté ze SSSR. SS tomu zkusila zabránit, ale příslušníci SS byli zabíjeni noži přímo na motorkách. Můj rodný kraj byl bezvýznamný a proto ho fašisté radši objeli, než by riskovali velké ztráty. Podrobnosti se dočtete v knize Odboj na Moravě od doktora Holemáře, která vyšla těsně po revoluci, ale cenzura ji stáhla. Atentát na Heindricha je tam vylíčen trochu jinak, než nám je léta vtloukáno do hlavy.
I have an uncle who was a marine during ww2 who fought in the pacific. This is a Japanese flag that he brought home, it has a few names written on it from some of the men that he served with. The names on the flag are:
Charles F Blanbo from Washington DC ( I think that's what the last name is, its kinda fuzzy)
Harold L Bachelor from Portland Oregon
Wm Roberts from Brookville Indiana
Frank Trusky from Akron Ohio
James E. Day from Huntsville Alaska
Douglas P. Searbrough from Monterey Tennessee
Harlan Bunnilk from Rockford Minnesota
John L. England from Jacksonville Texas
and my uncle Charles Fortney
I'm still trying to get more information like the unit he was in and if my uncle can remember where he got the flag from. He gave this to me about 25 or 30 years ago, it's been at my parents house till I asked them to send it to me.
Here are some of my new Japanese soldiers, including: Ghillie Sniper, Sgt. or a high rank soldier, a regular soldier, and a messed up pilot. I hope you guys enjoy!
I did it. I built a WW2 MOC. And there are probably more to follow since I’ve quite a few minifigs I’ve never used before.
The minifigs are from TMC and CitizenBrick.
The window technique is from Maxim Baybakov , please check out his stream.
A friend and I were at Bunker Bash 2009, the annual military rally at the former Government bunker at Kelvedon Hatch, near Brentwood in Essex. We had been undecided about going so arrived late and not in the best of weather.
We found an enthusiatic bunch of re-enactors and military vehicles owners covering both World Wars. One part of the site had been laid out as mock entrenchments with various national groups including British, US, German, Soviet and even Serbian forces dug-in.

GI Brick order came in! The webbing is fantastic in person, I certainly had my doubts but they're just what I needed. Sole critique: get rid of the grenades on the vests, they're too tiny. PS do you like my brit paras?

Yes I am still alive! Unfortunately I won't be around Flickr much anymore.
Forgive me for not answering any messages/requests these recent months. After I moved house, we had great trouble getting an internet line, had no internet access for 2months. When we did get it, it is very slow and patchy. Then my Mum got diagnosed with cancer and had to have emergency surgery. After over two months she is still very sick and weak.
