The infirmary had its origins in the Bolton Dispensary established in Mawdsley Street in 1814. [2] A campaign for a larger facility was established by Canon James Slade in 1820 [3] and a new building, designed by Benjamin Hick and built on land at Nelson Square donated by the Earl of Bradford, was completed in 1827. [2] A replacement infirmary, designed by Richard Knill Freeman [4] and sited east of Queen's Park [5] on Chorley Street, was completed in 1883. [2]
