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]
