 | | New Cross, near Deptford was the location for one of the second phase of infectious diseases hospitals erected by the Metropolitan Asylums Board which had been set up in 1867 to administer care for certain categories of the sick poor in metropolitan London. |
 | | The Deptford Hospital, serving the south-east of London, and its contemporary establishment, the Fulham Hospital, serving the west, were erected to provide additional accommodation for the large numbers of smallpox cases that continued in spasmodic epidemics in the 1870s. |
 | | As a result, from 1884, the Deptford Hospital became primarily a fever hospital and was renamed the South Eastern Hospital. |
