History

The hospital has its origins in an infirmary which was built for the Hartlepool Union Workhouse and which opened at Holdforth Road in 1889. [1] The infirmary suffered fire damage during a bombardment on 16 December 1914 during the First World War. [2] It became known as the Howbeck Infirmary in 1925. [2]

It also suffered bomb damage on the night of 7/8 July 1942 during the Second World War. [3]

The Duchess of Kent opened the new Hartlepool General Hospital on the same site in 1972. [4] In 2001 it became known as the University Hospital of Hartlepool. [1]

In 2016 the hospital and grounds were used as the setting for the fictional Brimlington Hospital for BBC One comedy Hospital People . [5]
