Childrens Hospital Brookhill

[tozzin]

In 1876 Brightmore House stood at No 222/4 Brookhill and it was the Children's Hospital prior to what we have today, the house has long been demolished but on looking at photos of the small hospital, I saw a finely carved coat of arms with a Lion and a Unicorn with a royal emblem between them, it does resemble the one on the Wicker Railway Arch but Its not the one. I just wondered if anyone knows if this Coat of Arms had been saved at all or was it just demolished like the rest of the hospital. The photos show the Coat of Arms, the derelict hospital and the Manual Training Tool Co that moved in some time after.

Somewhere deep in the SH archive is a long running (and unsolved i think) thread on this very subject. Can't remember what it came under.

I can see that this has been discussed before and quite thoroughly too BUT what happened to the Coat of Arms I wonder. Very intriguing.

This brought to mind a piece of stone I saw some years back,
