Manchester Jewish Victoria Memorial Hospital Elizabeth Street Cheetham

JEWISH HOSPITAL, MANCHESTER - On the 23rd ult. the foundation-stone of the Manchester Jewish Victoria Memorial Hospital was laid. The site is in Elizabeth-street, and it is estimated that the cost of the scheme, when completed, will be between £10,000 and £12,000/., but the work now embarked upon will involve an outlay of between £3,500 and £4,000, and this will enable provision to be made for ten patients. The administration block will occupy the front of the site facing Elizabeth-street, and will afford accommodation for the resident medical officer, matron, nurses, and servants. The out- patients' department will be at the corner of Elizabeth-street and Sherbourne-street, and the in- patients' portion will face Sherbourne-street, with the ward windows overlooking the adjoining park. In this block, which will be entirely detached from the administration block, except for a subway in connexion with the kitchen, it is proposed to make provision in the complete scheme for forty patients, twenty of each sex. The architect is Mr. W. Cecil Hardisty, of Manchester. [Builder 1 August 1903 page 141]
