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: It's annoying about how I regularly read about exciting new battery tech which never seems to go anywhere.
gollark: Why do you need batteries for nuclear power/mining of uranium?
gollark: Capitalism approximately satisfies people's values. But people apparently have terrible values.
