The Benenden Tuberculosis Sanatorium near Tunbridge Wells is a remarkable example of Royal patronage that evolved in a wholly unexpected manner to produce two, not one, imposing sanitoriums at a time when Tuberculosis was known as the White Plague.

The design for the hospital was the winning entry in a design competition held under the patronage of Edward VII to build a new Tuberculosis hospital offering the latest medical treatments developed in Germany and Switzerland on the most advanced lines.

The sanatorium stands on a sunny south-facing slope in the Hamlet of East End, just two miles from the main village of Benenden, with magnificent views over an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Now it’s a mess smashed windows ripped apart etc etc. Was but was a chilled out mooch around on a stormy Tuesday evening with @Stimpakman

For a place built 1907 this has seen many refurbs. The battle to save it is on going I think. Lovely curved design. Great peel. Such history on this piece of land. Would be a shame if it was converted to houses, I think a hotel or such would suit much better

I popped in here after doing the State Theatre, it's honestly pretty rubbish but there's a couple of cool bits amidst the stripped ruined buildings
