Foundation stone, Shrewsbury Court Independent Hospital
Foundation stone on the Shrewsbury Road frontage of Shrewsbury Court Independent Hospital, a private hospital on Whitepost Hill, providing psychiatric rehabilitation services for patients suffering from long term mental illness. The first building on the site dates from 1871, when the Reigate Cottage Hospital moved here from Albert Road North (see TQ2450 : Albert Road North) and was renamed the Reigate and Redhill Cottage Hospital. A wing was added in 1907 with the extension along Shrewsbury Road (the one for which this foundation stone was laid) being added in 1923. Over the years, the name changed a number of times, initially to the Reigate and Redhill Hospital, then the Reigate and Redhill General Hospital and from 1923 the East Surrey Hospital. From 1980, its role began to transfer to Redhill General Hospital, with total closure in 1983, with the building subsequently taking on its current role.

The stone reads: "This stone was laid by the Right Hon Lord Ashcombe CB Lord Lieutenant of Surrey on Nov 10 1923 to commemorate the enlargement of the East Surrey Hospital". For a wider view of this wing, see TQ2750 : Shrewsbury Court Independent Hospital, with the stone visible to the left of the entrance.
