New picture added to replace royal_hampshire_county_hospital_promo.jpg visible on Peer Review version: A87822732

I've also added the following text to bring it up to date:

In 2014, the canopy and three temporary buildings at the front of the hospital were demolished. This has allowed additional disabled parking, improved access to the main entrance as well as allowing the original Victorian building to be seen in its full splendour once again.

I'd've liked to have shown more of the Victorian building, but there was scaffolding just to the left of the picture (which is why it cuts off where it does). Sadly I wasn't able to get the whole site in - I was on the other side of the road as far back as I could get without scaling the walls of HMP Winchester. They probably take offence at that sort of behaviour and I'd rather not find myself in a 'Go to Gaol without passing Go' situation...

Cheekily the main entrance now has 'Founded 1736' in large letters where the concrete canopy used to be, which implies the building is older than it really is.
