The White House Hospital Patient Memories

The White House Hospital on Milford on Sea seafront accommodated many children suffering with TB over the years. 

Having published articles in the past, we have now gathered an interesting history of memories from children who were patients in The White House's time as a hospital.

Having been built in 1902 as a summer seaside residence for the Walker-Munro family. The White House went on the become a hospital for TB. 

Looking at the buildings history, from 1938, The White House became a hospital, specifically for adult male tuberculosis (TB).

At the beginning of WW2, the building was requisitioned by the War Office for military use. After the war, the hospital reopened for adult male TB sufferers until the NHS took it over in 1948.

Three years later, it became one of the first hospitals to cater specifically for child TB sufferers and ran as a children's hospital for TB until 1983.

The building then fell into disrepair, until in 1999, when Colten Developments Ltd completed a full restoration and conversion into private homes.
