NATIONAL HOSPITAL BOARDS ESTABLISHED IN 1822? NEED 49 AND 55

[Mamyalynne]

Do you have a link for 'National Hospital Boards' please.

[Loz2021]

If you Google those words it's takes you to a PDF document about a survey of hospitals from national archives, needs a bit more digging for confirmation but just wanted to share it incase people are just waiting on that one and can explore a bit more.

[Mamyalynne]

I looked at that document last night and didn't find what you have but I do have a problem with small print.

[Loz2021]

Was thinking it could also be New, it refers to the Meath board. I've my father in law on the case, he's a historian so I'll let you know if I hear back anything promising :)

[elsa4321]

Was thinking it could be National Heritage Bridges erected in 1822
NO 49 a million to 1 chance
NO 55 3 square meals a day

The Pont De Bordeaux was erected in 1822

[bobbinwales]

Loz. I had allready saved that doc as a PDF and searched but found only 2 references to 1822 and none referred to national Hospitals board. Could find references to "national hospitals board " either. If youve found anything well done

[bobbinwales]

ref calmk- yeah, found a few bridges erected in UK and Eire in 1822 including Holyhead wales, New London Bridge and Hillhead one in Scotland but none of thems quite fits the clue. There was New Hampshire bridge in USA but that were built much later and replaced a old 1822 river crossing.

Am still thinking the HB in the clue might be Holly Bough

[TheWinner]

I had also been down the hospital route a while back, but it didn't seem to fit, so I didn't offer it.

[bobbinwales]

I tried :
hospitals board, health board established, bridges/buildings erected, boards established, bibles, ballet,
N for national/next.new
e for ended, expired, eire, england, Europe, erected, established
HB for holly bough
..
And lots more. Good luck to whoever finds it!!!

[TheWinner]

me too, bobbinwales, I bet it's something that's nowhere near.

[bobbinwales]

Agreed- I think it'll be one that we'll all kick ourselves for or cringe at how corny or obscure or misleading it is.
Maybe the 1822 will turn out to be a date or a time or even 18th and 22 letters Q and V

[calmck]

18 Q 22V Queen Victoria. Albert Memorial?

[bobbinwales]

Is there a explanation of the NHB bit please calmk??

[calmck]

Can't find one. Just an idea. Maybe something established by QV

[Loz2021]

Northern Hunt Blackpool established 1822 https://www.google.com/search?q=northern+hunt+blackpool+1822&oq=&aqs=chrome.1.69i59i450l15.-1j0j7&client=ms-android-h3g-ie-revc&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
