History

The hospital has its origins in a facility established at Pembroke Cottages at Pikes Hill in April 1873.[2] It moved to Hawthorn Place in 1877 and to Alexandra Road in 1889.[2] Emily Davison died at the hospital after being hit by King George V's horse Anmer at the 1913 Derby when she walked onto the track during the race.[3][4]

The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948.[2] Although the hospital officially closed in 1988, the facility is still used for the physiotherapy and rehabilitation.[5]
