This hospital was opened, XV October MDCCCLXIV {1864} by HRH the Duke of Cambridge - President
D. Meinertzhagen - Treasurer

The Duke's name crops up quite often around here. Not surprising given his German background and the large German community.

E8, Ritson Road / Madinah Road

This U-shaped 1864 extension is the building to which the above-door inscription refers. The same architects also designed the West Lodge and probably the North Lodge.
