Elizabeth Garrett Anderson (the first female doctor to be admitted to the BMA) founded the New London Hospital for Women, which moved to Euston Road in 1890. This provided treatment for women by women. It was renamed the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital for Women after her death in 1918.

The Midland Grand Hotel - George Gilbert Scott won the competition in 1865 for the design of a 150 bed hotel for the Midland Railway Company, to be constructed next to its London terminus, St Pancras, which was still under construction at the time. At 300 rooms, Scott's design was much bigger and more expensive than the original specifications. Despite this, the company liked his plans and construction began. Scott's design was for a hotel with five floors below roof level but in the event it was built with four (which remains the case today) to save on construction costs – although the Midland Railway frequently reproduced Scott's original impression, showing the hotel with its non-existent top floor, in its publicity material. The east wing opened on 5 May 1873, with the Midland Railway appointing Herr Etzensberger (formerly of the Victoria Hotel, Venice) as general manager. The hotel was completed in spring 1876. The hotel was expensive, with costly fixtures including a grand staircase, rooms with gold leaf walls and a fireplace in every room. It had many innovative features such as hydraulic lifts, concrete floors, revolving doors and fireproof floor constructions, though none of the rooms had bathrooms, as was the convention of the time. The original hotel closed in 1935. George Gilbert Scott considered this hotel as his most successful project.

I think these are Beaconsfield Buildings where my paternal grandmother was born in 1884. The buildings were opened in 1887 as "comfortable dwellings for the labouring classes" but it later became a slum area and was known as "The Crumbles". Demolition started in 1967 and the area is now Bingfield Park and adventure playground. For more details, see www.beaconsfieldbuildings.com.
