You've been hard at work.

A couple of comments:

• Hanger Green House is marked on the 1895 map I added (previous page)
• Here are some notes I took from a book by Mrs Couchman. Although published in 1909, it was reminiscing about unspecified times gone by.

And nice linking to that old newspaper article I posted - had quite forgotten about it.

There used to be a stone St John of Jerusalem border sign in our back yard on Warwick Gardens .. Liz checked this out a couple of years ago, but it seems to have gone..

seen in this shot of 1959:

I found your plaque, or one similar to it. Location shown below.

It looks the same as one on the other side of the wall. That one's a bit clearer, but both seem to mark the extent fo the land owned by the Metropolitan Asylums Board. I can't make anything out about St John of Jerusalem. I found the one on the east side of the wall first which says MAB. I hoped the other might say St John of Jerusalem, but I don't think it ever did.

Ah, thanks.. I missed this when it was posted. I can only  make out Metropolitan  ..and .. extends to plinth on  other side. So it's refering to the hospital grounds then?  Not the Gardens ?

Yes, it was the Metropolitan Asylums Board staking our their territory.
