| Administrative / biographical background: |
The St Mary Magdalene Hospital Act of 1867 provided that surplus revenue or capital funds of the charity could be used to aid existing medical institutions or to establish a medical institution for the benefit of the sick poor of Newcastle upon Tyne and its vicinity. In 1884, therefore, the Corporation bought the surrender of William Hunter's lease of 5 acres of ground, with the buildings thereon for £5000 and established a Hospital for Incurables at Moor Lodge, Hunter's Road. They subsequently added more land then, in 1894, a new building was erected. A published rent roll of the estate of the Hospital of St Mary Magdalene of 1904, records that there were 58 beds at that date, with 10 more shortly to be added. |
