Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Queen Alexandra Hospital (commonly known as QA Hospital, or simply QA) in Cosham, Portsmouth, is one of several hospitals serving the city of Portsmouth. It is owned and administered by the Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust. Originally a military hospital, The Queen Alexandra was built in 1904-1908 to replace an earlier hospital which stood in Lion Street in Portsea. The original buildings were of red brick construction, and the site was in a largely rural area, linked to Portsmouth and the surrounding villages (now suburbs) by a tram service. The demilitarisation of the hospital began in 1926 when it was handed to the Ministry of Pensions, to care for disabled ex-servicemen. The Second World War saw the first civilian patients admitted, and several temporary huts added to the site to increase capacity. As with many makeshift hospitals from the era, thehuts stayed in place for several years after the war.
