History

The hospital, which was built to replace the Royal Salop Infirmary in the centre of Shrewsbury and the Copthorne Hospital on the opposite side of the Mytton Oak Road, was opened by the Prince of Wales in 1979. [2] Expansion of the hospital took place when services were transferred from the Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital in the centre of Shrewsbury in 1998. [3]

The site on the opposite side of the Mytton Oak Road, formerly occupied by the Copthorne Hospital, was deemed surplus to requirements and sold for development to create affordable housing in 2007. [4] Of the housing subsequently built, called Copthorne Grange, two of its roads, Seacole Way and Cavell Drive were named after famous wartime nurses. [5]
