Westwood Hospital was a health facility in The Woodlands, Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Both the original block and the gateway are Grade II listed buildings. [1] [2]

History

The hospital has its origins in the Beverley Union Workhouse which was designed by John and William Atkinson and opened in 1861. [3] An infirmary was added in 1893 and the entrance arch was completed in 1895. [4] It became the Beverley Public Assistance Institution in 1930 and joined the National Health Service as Westwood Hospital in 1948. [3] After services transferred to the East Riding Community Hospital in July 2012, Westwood Hospital and the buildings were redeveloped for residential use by PJ Livesey as Westwood Park. [5] [6]
