Former Hertford Hill Hospital - Geograph
A former is an object, such as a template, gauge or cutting die, which is used to form something such as a boat's hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being using in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and stringers) was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until ...

FRIBA

St Luke's Church, Bristol Street, Birmingham
St Luke's Church, Bristol Street, Birmingham was a former parish church in the Church of England in Birmingham, later used by the Redeemed Christian Triumphant Church of God. The building was demolished in 2018 as part of a housing redevelopment project by Barratt Homes. History The first building on the site was erected in 1842 by the Birmingham Church Building Society, to designs of the architect Harvey Eginton. The church was consecrated on 28 September 1842 by Henry Pepys, the Bishop of Worcester. The exterior stonework was poor quality, and the building eroded quickly. By the end of the nineteenth century it was condemned and demolished. Land was taken from the parish to form the parish of St David's Church, Highgate in 1866. A replacement was built in brick on the same site designed by local architect Edward Mansell and opened in 1903. The building was sold by the Church of England in 2003 and acquired by the Redeemed Christian Church of God. The Church of England ...

Eventually gaining over of land, the hospital patients provided most of their own food from three farms in the grounds and a spring supplied it with water.

The vicar of Hatton was responsible for the religious life of the hospital. Nevertheless, it was, in the early days, a reasonably hard place to be treated by modern standards.
