I still think it has to be on the seawall at Haslar, especially as it's a Royal Navy version
From Bartholomew's Survey Gazetteer of the British Isles, including summary of 1951 Census:
Haslar Hospital, Gosport, Hants, for men of the Royal Navy. Haslar Barracks is also in the vicinity.
Sounds like just the place to take a dying sailor. Other versions have other hospitals (Locke Hospital and St James' Infirmary).
