History
The hospital was first established in a house off Church Street in 1814.[1][2] It moved to Quay Walls (into the building now known as the Customs House) in 1826.[1]
A purpose-built hospital, designed by John Starforth, opened in Low Greens in 1874.[2] New wards were added in 1911 and 1926.[2] The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948 and it was extended again in the 1960s and 1970s.[2] In September 2018, the Trust proposed closing the infirmary and replacing it with a new facility at Tweedmouth.[3]

gollark: You are *really* repetitive, qez.
