Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

I wonder if anybody has any history on St Ann's? I have done a Google and there is limited information. I'm a healthcare professional who has a geeky interest in old hospitals. I've had physio at St Ann's and wandered around the site and really like it. 

I think that it used to be a fully functioning hospital with an A&E department? Such as shame that it has such limited use now and is about to redeveloped.

There is a short but interesting article here

Thank you, that website is a favourite of mine and I have been known to do walking tours around old hospitals in London!

You know, if someone had the skill and ability, a real history of St Ann's would be fascinating. The whole story about the original development as a fever hospital and the time it was used by allied troops in WW1.
I went to St Anne's school and we used to do maypole dancing there every summer in the grounds also my dancing school used to perform there for all of Haringay it was lovely . I will ask in and dad if they new what went on there as they have lived off St Anne's Rd all their lives

St Ann's certainly had an A & E Department.  I was taken there from the school playground with fracture of right tibia (c. 1948).  Later, when my mother suffered a stroke in the 1970s, she was an inpatient.

St Ann's was an isolation hospital in the 40's, 50's of the last century. I recall family tales of my very young sister being there in the late 40s and nobody been allowed to visit.

My dad has said it was in isolation hospital because it was a specialist fever hospital he said all the different little buildings all were for a different type of fever and no one was allowed to visit anyone staying in the hospital
Hope that helps

Sometime in the 50s I was taken to a garden party at St Anns which was opened by Petula Clarke - I was just old enough to fall hopelessly in love with her! There may be pictures in the Journal or Herald files?

I spent many an hour visiting at St Ann's as both my brother and sister were in-patients there several times. Being young I wasn't allowed on the wards so I was left at the gatehouse just inside the entrance. I hated every moment I was left there!
