My apologies Ken.ken from bexley said:Perhaps that was the millers hospital...... more towards the Ashburnham triangle of Greenwich as estate agents like to refer to it.... The Miller General Hospital was a hospital in Greenwich, London from 1884 until 1974. It was developed adjacent to an earlier dispensary, and was the first British hospital designed with circular wards, and one of the first to have an X-ray department.
Maybe I was thinking of a combination of the Millers hospital, plus St Alfeage school and St Alfeage church in that area.
PS I notice that the Danes were on the rampage in Greenwich.
During Alfege's time, Danish Vikings were regularly raiding the English coast and in the year 1011, they moved inland to sack Canterbury, pillaging the cathedral and massacring the local populace. In an attempt to restore peace and save innocent lives, Alfege offered himself as hostage and was taken in chains to Greenwich. On April 19th 1012, the Danes demanded 3,000 gold marks be paid in order to release the Archbishop but Alfege immediately let it be known that he would refuse to allow anyone to ransom him. As a result, the enraged Danes bludgeoned him to death with meat bones and stones and threw his body into the Thames. Alfege was the first Archbishop of Canterbury to die a violent death and following this outrage, the oar of a boat near to his body on the Thames foreshore reputedly blossomed into leaves and flowers. As a result of this miracle, the Danes allowed his body to be transferred to St Paul's Cathedral, where it remained for some eleven years before being moved to it's final resting place at Canterbury. Alfege was canonised in 1078 by Archbishop Lanfranc.

I was born at Redhill Hospital (East Surrey)se9addick said:Horrified - I would count as a Palace player in this experiment;
Palace 3.2 miles
Millwall 7.3 miles
Charlton 8.2 miles
I need a period of reflection...
Palace 15m
Wimbledon 16m
Millwall 23m
Charlton 26m
Technically I'd be at Crawley.

Kings College so definitely Charlton.
As long as you ignore both Palace and Millwall which I have grown used to doing in recent years!0 -
Surely where you went to school would be a better way to do this.0

It’s just a bit of fun mate, think the bloke that started n Twitter it has been laid off so has some time on his hands.MuttleyCAFC said:Surely where you went to school would be a better way to do this.1 -
Yes, I appreciate that. But it is interesting. The only thing is, when you have clubs reasonably close together, the hospital may not be the best indicator. Schools would be even more interesting.0

Am curious as to how Chelsea have come so far ahead of QPR in this - is there something about the maternity ward at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital compared with Hammersmith Hospital?0
