Emily Jackson Children's Hip Hospital

The hospital was established by Emily Jackson (1846–1916)[1][2][3] in 1871 in a small cottage on the Vine in Sevenoaks.

[4][2] In 1876 it was moved to Park Lane, Sevenoaks and became the Vine Hip Hospital.

In 1900, Jackson raised over £10,000 and purchased land in Eardley Road, Sevenoaks on which to build a larger, 45 bed hospital.

[3] Her brother, the notable architect Thomas Graham Jackson, designed the new building.

Emily Jackson was matron of the hospital, which cared for children with tuberculosis of the hip.
