Administrative / biographical background:

The Stroud Joint Hospital District was formed in 1894, to provide an infectious diseases hospital for the area comprising Bisley and Stroud Urban Sanitary Districts and Stroud Rural Sanitary District. The composition of the governing Board was altered in 1896, after the absorption of Bisley into Stroud Rural District and creation of Nailsworth Urban District.

 

The hospital is mentioned in directories for 1897 to 1939, described as an iron building. After 1904 it became a small-pox isolation hospital, other functions being transferred to the new Cashes Green Hospital.
