This essay consists of three parts. The first, based on Woodbridge Hospital records, explains how the Mental Hospital was renamed Woodbridge Hospital in 1951, an issue which had received intermittent press publicity, though its full details have not been published before. The second part of the essay traces the exact location of the wooden bridge after which the hospital is named. The last part concerns a missing photograph of a Woodbridge Hospital outside Singapore.
