The Royal Hospital Haslar was the first of three hospitals built in the 18th century for sick and wounded sailors and marines, and was the last to remain in service. Following submissions to King George II, sites were identified at Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Chatham, and building commenced at Haslar farm in 1745. Haslar was grand in concept, elegant in design, and robust of build, and provided medical attention and nursing care to the sick and wounded of both Fleet and Army. In more recent times it treated patients from all three services, and since the 1950s has made the professional and technological expertise contained within its walls accessible to civilian patients. The photographs in this fascinating illustrated history will stir the memory of all those who have entered Haslar, as either staff or patients, and provides a unique record of a singular and celebrated institution
