History

The hospital was founded by Peter Richard Hoare, the younger (1803-1877) of Kelsey Manor as the Beckenham Cottage Hospital in 1872. [1] Additional facilities were added in 1877 (the Lea Wilson Ward), in 1899 (the Diamond Jubilee Extension) and in 1924 (the Percy Jones Ward). [1] It became the Beckenham General Hospital in 1929 and benefited from further facilities in 1932 (the Ruth Sutton Ward) and in 1939 (the Trapnell Wing). [1]

After it joined the National Health Service in 1948, a new out-patients department was completed in 1959 and the Douglas Lindsay Ward was added in 1969. [1] The hospital closed in 2005 and the site has been developed as a primary healthcare centre known as Beckenham Beacon which opened in 2009. [1] [2] [3]
