    3. Good Morning Phillip. Thank you for this. Greatly appreciated. Yes, to me also, the topography looks wrong, yet all that I could imagine was that the large building and what looks like two huge formal gardens on the bank in front of it would have been the hospital. I just put it down to my lack of knowledge of what Regent Street must have originally looked like. But I couldn't recall having seen any reference to industry requiring a chimney like that on the Regent Street side. Whereas I had read of industry on the eastern side, but again the topography would look wrong for that view too; and I can't place such a grand 'house' and formal garden on the eastern side with that aspect. So overall, it would seem that your feeling of artistic licence would be the most likely one. Thanks again Phillip.
