History
The foundation stone for the facility was laid in August 1900.[1] It was opened by Lord Lathom as the Morecambe Queen Victoria Cottage Hospital in September 1902.[1] Additions included a small extension in 1912, a new female wing in 1923 and a mortuary in 1932 as well as a nurses' home in 1934.[1] It joined the National Health Service in 1948.[2] The main hospital was demolished in 2002 and replaced by a modern health centre which retained the Queen Victoria Hospital name.[3]
gollark: One of the more worrying things going on in computer hardware, to me, is the reduction of general-purpose-ness and user programmability.
gollark: Because of that updates are nonexistent after a year or so, and updating means a full reboot and stuff.
gollark: You have to download something like 40GB of stuff to build an Android system image because of course it's all one giant monolithic image.
gollark: Their OSes are kind of bloated because Android is stupid.
gollark: I did really quite like the aesthetic of the actual Nokia Lumia hardware they had, but... Windows.
