Tuberculosis sanatorium built around Bockhanger Hall, an earlier country house built in 1875 for James S. Burra. In 1913 the estate was purchased by Percy H. Jones who developed it as the Grosvenor tuberculosis sanatorium. The hospital closed in 1955, and was used as a private clinic from 1956 to 1958. In 1961 it was bought by the Metropolitan Police for use as a cadet training school, becoming a Home Office Police training centre in 1973. The centre closed in 2006 following a re-organisation of police training. |
