Kent and Sussex Hospital (Former site)
The Kent and Sussex Hospital was a district general hospital located on Mount Ephraim in Tunbridge Wells serving the West Kent and East Sussex areas. It closed on 21 September 2011 and was replaced by The Tunbridge Wells Hospital in Pembury, nearly three miles from the town.
The hospital building was designed by Cecil Burns, a local architect, and opened in 1934. The foundation stone had been laid in 1932 by the Duchess of York, later to become Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.
The site has been redeveloped as Royal Wells Park with houses, a school and business premises.
