Fairlight, Hastings – 1919
The message on the reverse is “Xmas, 1919, Fairlight, Hastings. From Richard” It looks like a Christmas fancy dress party
Thanks to Google Fairlight was a Sanatorium which stood to the north of the junction between Rye Road and Old London Road, Ore.
Now known as Barrington House, the building first opened as a convalescent home in 1905, and in 1909 it became Fairlight Sanatorium for the treatment of consumption (tuberculosis), taking twenty-five patients.
The sanatorium closed in 1957 and the building reopened in 1959 as Barrington House Rest Home. Much of the land belonging to the former sanatorium was sold for house building.
About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
