Preventorium Dolhain TB Hospital – Fire Truck History The Preventorium Dolhain is a fantastic art deco style building situated near the river Weser in the quiet secluded area of Dolhain near Liege.
The Preventorium was built to accommodate Children who were infected with or presumed to be infected with tuberculosis and continued to act as a sanatorium until the mid 1980′s. Preventorium’s differed slightly from sanatoriums in that they catered more specifically to patients with an early state of infection. Work on the building started in the 1950′s and completion is recorded in 1955 when the hospital was in full operation. Following the closure of the hospital the property was transferred back to ownership of the province of Liege before ultimately being sold to a businessman Kurt Mayer for a reported 10.6 million Belgium francs (approximately £230,000 with plans that the hospital would stripped out and converted into high end loft apartments.

The Shattered Remains of Afghanistan’s Versailles. The ferocity of Afghan resistance to foreign rule has been recorded down the centuries, from Alexander the Great to our own modern times.
Yet it is not only outsiders who have been the focus of the ire of the Afghan people. The first Afghan ruler who endeavored to modernize Afghanistan on a western model, Amanullah Khan (left), was eventually forced to flee his own country. His once opulent palaces are now testimony to the conflict and violence which have dogged this complex country for more than a century. Amanullah Khan became the Emir of Afghanistan in 1919, shortly afterwards declaring himself King. He instigated the Third Anglo-Afghan War in the same year which was, ostensibly, a minor tactical victory for the British Empire. His vision was grandiose to say the least.
