Description
March 1998. Building recording.
Black Notley Hospital was a well-preserved example of a 1930s sanitorium and 1940s EMS (Emergency Medical Scheme) hospital, located in extensive grounds to the south-west of the village beside Witham Road. Recording of the buildings was undertaken prior to demolition. The sanitorium was built in two main phases completed in 1930 and 1937-1940 to designs drawn up by the County Architect, John Stuart. Subsequent building work mostly involved extending or modernising existing buildings and, during the Second World War, the creation of a hutted EMS hospital on a site to the west of the hospital. <1>
