These curved metal signs were removed from the Coombe Hospital, Dolphins Barn, in the early 1990s by Richard Howley. Howley's company, Sign Engravers Ltd, was contracted to redo the signage on the hospital. This old Coombe sign -- dated to the original lying-in hospital before its move to the Barn -- was destined for the skip but, thankfully, was saved by Mr Howley.
