History
The facility has its origins in the Bowthorpe Road Workhouse which was completed in 1859.[1] An infirmary was added in around 1880 and a nurses' home (which survives as Woodlands House) was completed in 1903.[1] It became the Bowthorpe Road Public Assistance Institution in 1930 and, although the main building was destroyed by bombing during the Baedeker Blitz of the Second World War, the hospital joined the National Health Service as the West Norwich Hospital in 1948.[2] After a programme of investment it became the Norwich Community Hospital in 2005.[3]

gollark: Well, they seem to have tried to do that initially for a bit, then gave up (at least for my year), leaving us doing something like two lessons a week but being set a bunch of random papers to do (which I mostly ignored because they are extremely boring).
gollark: I'm glad school is over for me now and I can avoid worrying about them doing stupid things.
