• Health services

The Hospital was founded as the result of a meeting in 1768. Management was placed in the hands of a quarterly Board of Governors and a smaller weekly Board of Governors, and public subscriptions were raised. The Hospital was opened in a leased house in St Swithin's parish in November 1769. In 1774 a site was purchased near Drury Lane for a purpose-built Hospital, which was used from 1777, and subsequently expanded. The first part of the present Hospital site was purchased in 1875, and the new Hospital on Sewell Road was opened in 1878. From 20 April 1914 the weekly Board was re-named the Board of Management. The Hospital was transferred to the National Health Service in 1948 and has continued to expand along Greetwell Road.
