Geocache Description:

A visit to this park area over looking Southampton Water provides an interest to all.

The Royal Victoria Hospital at Netley, near Southampton was once, the country's largest military hospital. Queen Victoria laid its foundation stone in 1856, near the end of the Crimean war. Completed in 1863, it received wounded soldiers from all over the British Empire as well as providing a site for an army nursing school.( Dr Watson, friend of Sherlock Holmes, trained there.) The hospital was particularly busy throughout the first and second world wars. It housed the first military asylum, which came into it's own treating shell shock during WW1, the poets Wilfred Owen & Siegfried Sasson were both treated there. It was demolished in 1966 after a fire damaged much of the building. Today, the Netley chapel is all that remains of this magnificent building. For more details click here. Beware of rolling stock and nettles.
