History

The hospital opened in March 1885 in a building which had originally been known as Sandfield House.[1] The Raleigh Bicycle Company was founded on the same street, just two years later, in 1887.[2]

In the 1894 White’s Directory of Nottinghamshire the following was listed in relation to the hospital:

The Samaritan Hospital for women in Raleigh Street was ounded [sic] in 1885 for in-patients, and a department for out-patients at 5 Broad Street, during which time to December. 31, 1892, 16,278 patients have received medical advice. President, the Duke of Portland; honorary medical officers, Mr. George Elder, M.D., Mr E. B. Truman, M.D., and Mr H Michie, M.B., C.M.; honorary secretary, Mr J. A. Simpson; matron, Miss Paget.[3]

In 1923 it merged with Nottingham Castle Gate Hospital, 29-31 Castle Gate, to become the Nottingham Women's Hospital in Peel Street.[4][5] The building in Raleigh Street became a private nursing facility known as St Mary's Nursing Home which closed in 1972.[6][7]

gollark: They have context and in-world things to refer to.
gollark: I mean, I guess language model training somehow makes them able to reasonably write things without ever being "taught" the language and possibly not "understanding" it, which is a similarly examplar example.
gollark: ... how?!
gollark: Actually, it's only 0.5 true.
