Title: Aldershot and it's Lock Hospital [Go to resource]
Description: An article produced by Gill Picken for AHAS yearbook 2001 on the Lock Hospital, Farnborough Road, Aldershot opened as a result of several Contagious Diseases Acts in the 1860s to house prostitutes who were suffering from various sexual diseases. The Acts were repealed in 1886 and the women became prisoners rather than patients. Later the building became a War Department store and was demolished with no trace left.
