I found myself in Subi on Monday with a little spare so I made my way to Bagot Road and the wonderfully deco entrance to the King Edward Memorial Hospital for Women.The colourful tiles are so bright that you tend to overlook the brickwork. But enough of that, back to the tiles.On either side of the entrance, hidden behind the modern rubbish bins and signage there are brick planters with this decoration at ground level.But the best piece of decoration is the panel directly above the doorway showing a stock delivering a baby to the hospital.The hospital was opened in 1916 but this particular building was designed by architect, Norman Bateman in 1939.
