Former Annie McCall Hospital
Roger Moore was born here

Description: Former Annie McCall Maternity Hospital. Built 1915.
Established by Doctor Annie McCAll, pioneer in midwifery practices. Later extended by Gertrude Leverkus, one of the first women architects to qualify.
Site includes former hospitals gardens, now wildlife Garden with pond and planned beehives.
Left empty by Local Government for over 20 years Stockwell Studios a community of Artists have been custodians of the building, trying to save it to see it sympathetically developed as a community arts-hub.
Now the organisation is under serious threat of eviction by Lambeth Council, with the probably future intention being demolition of the building by the council or commercial devlopers the buildings future hangs in the balance!
