Description: Ruins of Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital The hospital was built in 1924, to provide aftercare and recovery for disabled boys who had undergone surgery. Plaques on the site speak of a charitable foundation, the "Guild of the Poor Brave Things", that founded the hospital as part of the Chailey Heritage created by Dame Grace Kimmins in 1903. The nurses home was inland and the hospital built on foundations on the shingle beach itself The ruins show very weathered concrete foundations onto which were fixed what appear to be wooden buildings. Plaques on the site show beds wheeled into the fresh air - "Nature's Antibiotic". Very close to, and on the landward side of the hospital, was the Lily Warren nurses' home. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chailey_Heritage_Marine_Hospital
