Plaque on the site of the Evelina Hospital

The plaque is on the corner of Southwark Bridge Road and what used to be Quilp Street (now just a path through Mint Street Park). The park is on the site of the original Evelina Children's Hospital. For a view of the park see TQ3279 : Mint Street Park, Southwark. According to the plaque, the hospital opened in 1869, founded by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild and named after his late wife. The hospital moved to newer buildings on the Guy's Hospital site in 1976.
