Boilerhouse Chimney At Former New End Hospital

This boilerhouse chimney, dating from 1898, is located on the former New End Hospital site. Designed by Keith D Young and built by Frederick Gough and Co of Hendon, it was originally part of the boiler and laundry house added to the Hampstead Workhouse Infirmary, which later became the New End Hospital, following the Cleansing of Persons Act of 1897. The chimney is constructed of red brick with Portland stone dressings. It has a rectangular plan, tapering as it rises, and features stone bands and a moulded stone cornice at the top.

The chimney is a rare surviving example of its kind in London and is the only remaining element of the original boiler and laundry house. It has considerable townscape value and a particularly strong visual group value, alongside nearby buildings including the former Workhouse Block, the Circular Ward and attached Water Tower, the Infirmary Block, and New End School. The chimney serves as a local landmark.
