History

The foundation stone for the hospital was laid by Thomas Dundas, 2nd Earl of Zetland in Newport Road on 7 August 1860. [1] It was designed in the Italianate style, built in brick with stone dressings and was officially opened by the industrialist, Henry Bolckow, in June 1864. [2] It was extended at the north and south ends at the expense of the industrialist, Sir Bernhard Samuelson, in 1906. [3] It joined the National Health Service in 1948. [4]

The local ear, nose and throat support group raised funds totalling £1,268 for an infusion pump in 1990. [5] The North Riding Infirmary, the Middlesbrough General Hospital, and the neuro-rehabilitation unit at West Lane Hospital were all replaced by the James Cook University Hospital in 2001. [6] The old hospital was demolished in 2006, [7] and a supermarket was subsequently built on the site. [8]
