South London Hospital For Women,Nurses Belt Buckle

A scarce Nurses Belt Buckle from The South London Hospital for Women. Located on the South side of Clapham Common,this hospital was at one time totally staffed by women,other than one Engineer and a Gardener ! It joined the NHS in 1948 as part of the Lambeth Group of Hospitals but eventually closed in 1984
The buckle mimics the design on the hospital badge bearing the letters SLHW and the motto ET DATO GAUDETIS-Delight in Giving.
Some surface scratching as pictured but a pretty thing.Belt loop present.I am also listing a couple of the hospital badges separately.Height 51mm Width 62mm
