Thanks, Cliff Ton. I have contacted Picture the Past now so fingers crossed. I will also check old newspapers as there may have been a plaque unveiling ceremony. Thanks, everyone, you have all been a great help.

That photo of the plaque - does anyone know where the photo came from and, indeed, if the plaque is still in existence somewhere?

Wow! Thanks, Enigma. My relative's name is on the plaque Miss C E Hickmott Matron. What a find! My dad will be over the moon to see this.

Nottshistory.org.uk/articles/mellorsarticles/mapperley4.htm written in 1914 states that The City Isolation Hospital and Sanatorium at Bagthorpe was built between 1889 and 1891 and opened in the latter year. The largest number of beds in occ

I am trying to identify Basford Sanatorium as it was on the 1901 census when my gt gt aunt was matron there. Next door was Tinkers House Farm and nearby road was Arnold Road. Nottingham Archives has records of Basford Isolation Hospital but when I looked at the records I found this was not the same as Basford Sanatorium. There was an entry for the Isolation Hospital saying a nurse had left to go to a post at Basford Sanatorium. After looking at maps of 1901, 1980 and present day I deduce the Basford Sanatorium is the one on the left as you go up Hucknall Road and it subsequently became a hospi
