Time capsule unearthed at Chase Farm Hospital

A time capsule that dates back to 1884 was recently found while workers were demolishing an older part of Chase Farm hospital in Enfield, north London. At 134 years old it's one of the oldest in the UK. And while the capsule may have been unearthed in London, it had to be sent to Scotland to see what was in it as the contents were too delicate to remove. To carry on the tradition, a new time capsule was recently planted on the site by the Duke of York.
