Captured between 1966 and 1975, this image showcases a modern boiler house with its prominent chimney and hopper on the roof. The sleek design of the structure stands out against the backdrop of a cloudy sky, creating an intriguing contrast between nature and industry. The oblique angle at which this photograph was taken adds depth and dimension to the composition, allowing us to appreciate both the architectural details of the building and its surroundings. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but wonder about all that took place within those walls during their time as part of Banstead Hospital.

It invites us to reflect on our ever-changing society while appreciating the beauty found even in structures that are no longer standing. John Gay's skillful capture not only preserves a piece of history but also sparks our imagination as we contemplate what stories these buildings could tell if they could speak.
