Administrative / biographical background:

Maidenhead Cottage Hospital in Norfolk Park, Maidenhead, was completed and opened in 1879, at which time it could accommodate seventy three patients. The cost of the building was met largely by public donations. It was enlarged in 1908, 1911 and 1921, and by the time the final extensions were completed in 1930, it accommodated over five hundred patients. In 1948 it was absorbed into the National Health Service as Maidenhead General Hospital. It was closed in 1974 and its patients moved to St Mark's Hospital, Maidenhead.

 

The records include minutes, reports, accounts and miscellaneous papers of the hospital 1879-1948, and minutes of certain committees of the Maidenhead hospitals, 1947-1973. The only patients' records are registers of operations, 1966-1970.
