Burton Road Hospital was a NHS hospital situated in Dudley, West Midlands, England. [lower-alpha 1]
The hospital has its origins in the infirmary for the Dudley Union Workhouse which was built to the west of the main workhouse site in the 19th century. [2] The workhouse was converted into a hospital and, in the late 1920s, it became known as the Dudley Institution. [3] Additions to the institution at that time included a maternity hospital which was completed in 1926 and which was re-named the Rosemary Ednam Maternity Hospital in memory of Lady Ednam who had died in an air crash in July 1930. [4] [5]
A donation by the Rotary Club enabled Burton Road Hospital to receive the country's first mobile cardiac unit in 1971. [6] The maternity unit continued to provide maternity services to the local area until they were transferred to a new 118-bed maternity unit at the Wordsley Hospital in the late 1980s. [7] Following the transfer of the remaining services to Russells Hall Hospital and Bushey Fields Hospital, the hospital closed in December 1993 and the site has since been redeveloped for housing.
