23/10/2007 - GF Newman's "The Nation's Health" (1983), originally shown on Channel 4, was recently shown on Digital Channel "More 4", as part of their "Channel 4 at 25" series. Episode 4 was filmed at Bexley Hospital.

Thanks to Nigel Watts for this information.

Welcome to the site and we hope you enjoy looking around at the many pictures, documents and memories within this website. We hope that the website grows over time, and we would love to hear your comments, but we would especially love to hear from people who want to share their memories of the hospital, and welcome contact from former staff and patients, and anyone connected with the hospital.

We are always keen to receive new photographs of the hospital, or copies of documents from the hospital. We also would love to hear from anyone who has any pictures of the school of nursing, or any hospital signage (ie ward signs, inside and outside the hospital).

Please get in touch with us by email if you have anything you can let us use on this website. We can always scan any documents or photographs that you have, returning the originals to you.

Tony Kinson & Richard Howe worked at Bexley Hospital in the early to mid 1980's and have kept in touch, and often talked about the fact that there seemed to be no information about the hospital on the internet. They discussed the idea of putting a website online, and in late 2004 Tony offered to build the web-site, and Richard took on the task of making contact with various people who could provide pictures. After lots of chasing, research, scanning and late nights stuck in front of the computer, the site went live in October 2006.
