The hospital first opened on 15 November 1876 as a children's infirmary in Brightmore House, on Brook Hill in Sheffield. [1] Two years later it moved to its current site on Western Bank where it was accommodated in a pair of semi-detached houses. [1] By the mid 1890s it was decided that the two old house were inadequate and should be pulled down and replaced. A new building on Brook Hill was opened in 1903, designed by the architect John Dodsley Webster. [2] The first X-ray machine and electric lights arrived in 1907 and a new operating theatre and electric radiators were installed in the 1920s. [1] Two new wards were completed in 1927, a baby ward was opened in the 1930s and a second operating theatre was built in the 1950s. [1] The accident and emergency department was extended in the 1970s and services were transferred from the Northern General Hospital in the 1990s. [1]

During the 1990s it was featured in the BBC Television series Children's Hospital . [3]

Local football club Sheffield Wednesday donated their shirt sponsorship to Sheffield Children's Hospital and the associated Children's Hospital Charity for the 2009–10 and 2010–11 seasons. [4]

A new wing, built at a cost of £40 million, was completed in 2018. [5] The new wing provides a new hospital main entrance, outpatients consulting suites, specialist diagnostic and treatment areas, and three new wards. [6] The new wing was officially opened by Prince Harry in July 2019. [7]
