Doncaster Gate Hospital was a hospital located in Rotherham in South Yorkshire, England.
History
[edit | edit source]The hospital has its origins in the Rotherham Public Dispensary established at Wellgate in Rotherham in 1806.[1] It moved to College Square in Rotherham in 1828.[1]
Following an initiative by Dr Edward Shearman,[2] funding was sought for a new hospital in the town. Subscriptions were donated by every section of the community from ladies living on Moorgate to the workers in the surrounding factories.[3] It was decided to situate the new building in Doncaster Gate, so-named because it marked the gateway to Rotherham on the Doncaster Road.[4]
The architects, Mallison & Bakewell of Dewsbury and Leeds, were selected from over 90 entries in a competition run by The Builder magazine in 1869.[5] The hospital, which was built partly in Tudor style and partly in Gothic style at a cost of £9,000, opened in 1872.[1]
It joined the National Health Service as Doncaster Gate Hospital in 1948.[1] After services, including the special care baby unit,[6] had been transferred to Rotherham General Hospital, Doncaster Gate Hospital closed in 1984.[1]
