Illustration by Andrew Cadey

Opened in April 1887 and designed by local architects Henry Jarvis & Son, the hospital reflected latest thinking in medical practice, where the high patient mortality rate could be reduced with good ventilation and sunlight.

The hospital had a symmetrical pavilion layout consisting of a large central administrative block (illustrated here) flanked by two ward blocks on either side that linked by an open walkway acting as a spine. The Nightingale wards were designed as narrow blocks with tall windows at regular intervals along both sides to allow cross-ventilation.
