Re Barnwood Hospital ? (General)

Thanks Slowhands for confirming my understanding.

I'm sorry I didn't grasp the full meaning of what you said earlier.
In the various associated threads (and in my lifetime) I've seen/heard plenty of mentions of Hospitals at both Horton Rd and Coney Hill, but never a separate "Barnwood" hospital too. Also in my understanding Coney Hill was/is vaguely within the suburb nowadays called Barnwood. Furthermore your prior post stated that the early "Barnwood Hospital" later became known as "Coney Hill Hospital".

It also still seems surprising to me that a relatively small city should have three such hospitals all within the same area and timescale, in addition to one at the larger city of Bristol.

Hence imho my confusion was not unreasonable and I believe this clarification will help others too.
