History: | The hospital was founded by W J Sanderson, a Newcastle philanthropist. It was originally known as the W J Sanderson Home for Destitute and Crippled Children and was initially begun in premises at Whickham in 1888. These buildings swiftly became too small and the hospital moved to the Red House in Wallsend on 1 June 1889. The final move in 1897 was to Salters Road, Gosforth when the Wallsend premises were no longer suitable. Until the implementation of the National Health Act of 1947, the Sanderson Orthopaedic Hospital continued as an independently run institution specialising in the care of physically handicapped children and had its own school, which continued until its closure as a children's hospital in 1977. The Freeman Hospital opened in 1977. |
