History

The original hospital on Steamer Quay Road

The facilities has its origins in a cottage hospital established by the conversion of a house on Steamer Quay Road in the 19th century. [1] This was replaced by a new purpose-built cottage hospital built by Thomas Brook on Bridgetown Hill in the 1890s. [1] [2] The Bridgetown Hill facility eventually became decrepit and, after the hospital closed in the early 1990s, the site was developed as Varian Court. [1]

The current facility on Coronation Road, which replaced both the old Bridgetown Hill facility and the Broomborough Hospital, was opened by the Duchess of Kent in 1993. [1] The hospital was briefly closed because of the discovery of the legionella bacteria in January 2019. [3]
