New Build

In 1911 the existing Eccles and Patricroft Hospital hospital containing eight beds and two cots was considered inadequate, given the increasing population. It was therefore proposed to build a new wing which would contain a ward with eight beds for women and children, a ward with twelve beds for men and boys, and two small wards with two beds each for the accommodation of patients who could afford to pay for the treatment they received at an estimated cost of £15,000. The new King Edward VII memorial wing opened on 12 July 1913 by King George V.
