Hospital opened in January 1915, run mainly by volunteer members of the Essex/36 Volunteer Aid Detachment (V.A.D.) .. It was affiliated with the Colchester Military Hospital. .. From 1919 until 1923 the building became an annexe for the Loughton County High School for Girls while an extension was built on the main site of the School."
