East Riding General Hospital was a health facility in Bridlington Road, Driffield, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
History
[edit | edit source]The facility had its origins in the Driffield Union Workhouse which was designed by John Edwin Oates and opened in 1868.[1] An infirmary was established at the north end of the site.[1][2] It became the Driffield Public Assistance Institution in 1930.[1] During the Second World War, an emergency medical service hospital known as Driffield Base Hospital was built on the site.[1] It joined the National Health Service as the East Riding County Hospital in 1948[1] and became the East Riding General Hospital in 1950.[3] As it expanded it took over many of the old workhouse buildings and modern operating theatre facilities were also built on the site in the 1960s.[4] After local services had transferred to the Alfred Bean Hospital, East Riding General Hospital closed in 1990.[1] The buildings were demolished in 1992 and the site was sold for residential development.[5]
