History

The foundation stone for the facility was laid by Major General John Seely, Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire, in January 1928.[1] The building, which was designed by Vernon-Inkpen and Rogers, was opened in July 1929.[1] A fine frieze of Wedgwood tiles depicting nursery rhymes was added to the children's ward in 1935.[2] The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948 and a casualty department was added in June 1957.[1] After services transferred to modern facilities such as Fareham Community Hospital, Havant War Memorial Hospital closed in September 2011 and was subsequently converted for use as a care home.[3]
